"Found a 1986 Wellcraft 19'
"Found a 1986 Wellcraft 19' bowrider, in absolute pristene condition, from the bow right to the propeller tip!!!!! (quite cheap) That's the only reason for this post. It's power is a (tag missing) 470-485 etc., one of the 3.7L, 4cly alum block, heat exchanged motors, and it's SEAZED.
So the question is: Knowing that the parts for the 3.7L are scarce and EXPENSIVE, is it feasable to convert this boat to the GM 120-140 motor? (multiple used units in my area for short money, I have the capablities to rebuild anyway). Do I start, and where do I start? thoughts and comments and help would be most appreciated. Stu"
