    Engine choice

    Tracker

    there are a few salvage yards. green bay propeller may have a tracker as they were big on lake michigan. but you have to walk the yard. it would be easier and quicker getting two made at your local aluminum fab company since white water marine is still making trackers, you can also check...

    Gauges fluctuating, bouncing around

    Mercruiser 120 convert to automotive.

    no, there is no special bolt pattern. the merc 2.5 is the same as a Hyster fork lift 2.5 which is the same as a 1962 Chevy II 2.5. other than the big gap in lobe angles, small duration on the cam, the non-vacuum advance and the wet exhaust. its basically a small truck motor.

    Sputtering, sketchy acceleration, idle unsteady

    Fixing Dings and Dents

    the boat has been either repainted or a different color gel applied at some point. so matching may or may not happen. regarding the gouges and chips, thicken gel will work. that crack should be investigated further.
