Hello Donzi Dudes,
So I could use some advice.
I bought a 1967 Ski Sporter hull a few years ago.
I just found a good running donor boat that has a mid 1990's Mercury 350 MPI with an Alpha drive.
Here is my question?
Is this too much engine for my little project boat?
What kind of performance can I expect?
What will it be worth when it's done?
I am planing on cutting out the L shaped bench and dropping the floor so I can make it a 2 bucket set up that sits a little lower.
The engine hatch is missing so I was thinking I would cut the hatch bigger for the V8 since I have to make a new one anyway.
The boat is all original and just needs paint and a new transom since it had a volvo drive.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
