Hello all i just purchased a 1964 Crestliner 20' Viking.:D:D This boat is in need of alot of work but im in no hurry to get it going for the price i paid. It needs floor, seats, cleanup, and engine work. I purchased the boat and trailer for $100 bucks. Ohh and it came with a spare engine.

So I have attached a few photos and was wondering if anyone knew alittle bit more about the boat. These are the pictures for the add they posted. I will post more when i get to my place.

They told me it was a buick engine with a OMC outdrive. The one thing i cant figure out is why is the steering line hooked up to the outdrive they way it is (on the outside of the stern drive on the right side sticking out of the boat.

I worked on Mercruiser outdrives before but never a omc how much hard if any are they to work on?

Thanks for all your replies and hope i can get more pics for a better post.

You might want to post this up in the OMC area and see what you're getting into. Looks like a stringer drive.

Will do thank you... I just wanted it in this forum just to see if anyone had advise on the boat as well as the engine.. just an all around advise. Im open to anything.

But will copy it and post it there as well.

Ya I reposted this in the OMC forum and thats what one of the guys told me is to redo the transom and put a mercruiser in there can find alot more parts..

Love your slogan about "if it ain't fixable - don't break it!"
