I need to repower my 1967 Skisporter that currently has a siezed, cracked block, original 289 Ford with Eaton/Volvo drive.
Concerning repowering, I would like good performance with top end at least 60mph. I am considering a factory rebuilt, warrantied engine. Options I am considering include another 289 Ford, 302 Ford, high performance rebuilt 289, or Chevy small blocks. What would be the largest engine the boat can accommodate concerning weight/size?
Can anyone recommend companies that sell rebuilds?
Finally, should I keep the Eaton/Volvo, or replace with Mercruiser?
All responses greatly appreciated!
