    I need pictures of a 19' Sea Ray Seville closed bow.

    Does anyone have any pictures of a closed bow Seville they could post ? I just picked one up that was gutted by the po and I would like to see what it looked like to make a decision on restoring it or not. I have always been a fan of open bows and this would be my first closed one. Thanks, Jon

    1987 OMC 4.3 wont start after changing plug wires

    Hi every one. I have a 87 4.3 that sat for 5 years in storage. The motor ran good when it was put in storage. I changed the fuel filter, replaced points and condenser, set gap to .019, changed oil and filter, pulled the distributor and primed the oil pump. It started and ran. I warmed it up and...
