Good day everyone. First post on this forum. I have just acquired a 1987 Wellcraft St. Tropez which has a solid hull, good interior, windows need sealed, deck seats need recovered and the strips need painted. All simple enough for me to do. The engines were fogged with marvels miracle oil several years ago. STB carb had been previously removed and the intake is very rusted. Niether engine will turn with a bar. I assume that they both would need full restoration and over boring. Questions... should I replace the exhaust manifolds and oil coolers at time of restoration? Any suggestions for determining the status of the V-Drives? I paid VERY little for the boat so I have some room for power plants but I do not want to get into this and have a real money pit. Any advice and assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.
