I'd like some input (po's and cons) on whether I should restore this 16 to the original 318 marine chrysler V8 with Volvo Penta drive. No upgrades as original as possible OR drop in a merc. engine and alpha drive combo along with new guages, steering and so on. Specific items are:
- the value of the boat restored as compared to modernized.
- reliability of a 30 year old drive
- handling and performance - Am I going to have to just putt around in it because I'm afraid to break something?
Thx.
