Hi everyone, thanks in advance for the help here.
I am considering purchasing a 1992 Four Winns 215 Sundowner. It is in decent condition, and would make a fantastic boat with a bit of cleanup and enbow grease. There are no major problems that I can see with the boat and the King Cobra 351 engine says only 180 hours. If anyone else has thoughts on this boat, please feel free to mention them. I'm getting this boat for super cheap, and anticipating $1500 to $2000 for new outdrive. I'm told the motor works, but no way to test it.
Engine: King Cobra 351 5.8L HO
Outdrive: OMC King Cobra
(I can't seem to upload pictures yet, will continue trying)
It's major flaw is, the original OMC King Cobra outdrive is removed and in pieces. It's pretty clear that it failed and the previous owner tried to fix it, and they were unsuccessful. My plan would to purchase a conversion kit and a rebuilt modern outdrive. I am techincal and plan to do the work myself over the winter.
Question: Is anyone aware of compatible conversion kits and outdrives for this setup? Which ones are recommended?
Thank you!!
