Re: Going to the dark side...

Looks good. The 3.0L engine has been around for a long time, and so has the Alpha I Gen II drive.
Here are the online manuals, might as well get started reading up on the maintenance.

Drive Manual #14
Engine Manual #13


Oh, and wipe that "Gimbal fee since '83" out of your signature :p :p

That's a proven combination. As long as the floor is good, it should be good to go.

You were one of the OMC team. Now I feel like I will be standing alone :-(
at least in our neck of the woods.

Looks like a nice find.

You are definitely moving up, from OMC to Mercruiser, and the next big step will be to Volvo!! Looks like a decent boat, especially if it is not rotten.

Have a great day,

Rob

That boat may be under powered with that motor, guess you will know in the trial run.
