Planning on pulling out my houseboat on Lake Jordan soon and would like to repower with a used v6 or v8 mercruiser. I presently have a 160 hp in-line 6 Mercruiser, 1967 motor and 1972 drive unit.
If Cat or someone has a Mercruiser Complete or a bad boat with a good power unit please reply.
Thanks,
Houseboat

I'm gonna come by and see the shop today I think. You are not that far from me. Currently, we have a "drop in" 4.3ltr, 5.0ltr and a 7.4ltr. They are running and 100% complete. any of the three should just drop in, plug up and crank. Probably take only a few hours. You can here them run now. They are complete with all belts, hoses, manifolds, etc. The 4.3 V-6 is carburated. The 5.0 305 cu. in. and 7.4 454 cu. in. are EFI. Call me at the shop and I'll tell you more about them. I will sell you one very inexpensive. 334-358-2838.

Would love for you to come by my shop. Thanks for the call today. I will get back with you about the motors. I was wondering if the after market drive unit will fit my old 70's transom assembly. I do have another in-line 6 in an old glastron but it has been sitting a few years and is a late 70's model. Just trying to keep the cost down because I will never be able to get the money back out of my old houseboat.
