Welcome to iboats.....

Best advice....start reading. You are about to venture into a very expensive and time consuming restoration.

For pics, you'll need to open a Free Photobucket account, upload the pics, use the IMG Code and paste it into your post.

Once you upload your pic to Photobucket, when you hover over the pic with your mouse pointer, you will have a window with 4 links. the last one is the IMG code. Click inside the window and it will say "Copied". You can then return to your iBoats post and paste the copied link into your post.

Ok, got pics done, now talked to a local boat engine man, he said l drive parts and force parts are going to be extinct! Used parts are out there but some people want big prices but sometimes you can buy complete units for 500.00 so its a chance! Other news! He said there is no reason i cant put a new mercury setup in the boat! If im going to rebuild the transum anyway! He said he has never seen or done it but there is no reason other than time and money! , he said he could get me a 150 hp complete mercury lower engine and geabox, used for about 2500.00 all i have to do is build a transom for it

Your img codes should have: [/B] at both ends of the cut & pasted IMG code

It should look like this: [B]{IMG][/B][URL]http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj585/jcb996/8cd61064.jpg[/URL][B][/IMG}

[/B]when you paste it & it doesn't show up as a hot link, like mine is now ^^^

EXCEPT at each end the [SIZE=3][B]{ }[/B][/SIZE] should be [B][SIZE=3][ ][/SIZE][/B] I had to change them so the text would show up instead of the pix....
