I have some unfortunate friends who bought a 1972 ish) 21' Reinell cuddy-cabin with a 302 Ford through an OMC drive. Oh yeah, they got a good deal alright. Sympathy cards and flowers can be sent to.........
My father-in-law has a 76 deckboat with a 302 ford and OMC outdrive. He loves it. It runs great. The only problem is the inability to find an original Steering cable for less than $500.00. We fixed the old one and it is working now.
thw worst marine equiptment is someone fishing in your boat who doesnt have a clue what they are doing unless its akid and that make the experience fun
definitely jet-skis... they give real boaters a bad name, plus they cause boating laws and taxes and insurance to get raised to the point where legitimate boater can't afford to live.
