"I have a 1978 Searay Seadan B
"I have a 1978 Searay Seadan Bridge with twin mercruiser 255hp 1.5 reduction velvet drive transmisions. engines runs well but after a 20-30min run the oil pressure drops on the engines. starts off at 40pds and goes down to 10-20pds @ idle.
This winter i would like to go through the engines and transmissions. i am looking for something very reliable when it is done (capable of trips of 200-300 miles at a clip) what do you guys think my best bet would be, refresh my engines (rings, pistons gaskets) buy reman engine, or buy new enines. same for trans both work fine, but I have no idea how they have been cared for over the years. i am intersested in all sugestions and experiences with repowers."
