how's it going everybody i'm new here and just looking for some input
i just recently bought a galaxy openbow for 300 bucks with a mercruiser 470, it's not installed and i have no idea what kind of condition it is in
the bout had a little bit of snow in it when i got it and got all that drained out. it needs to be carpeted and i'm going to buy new seats for it.
i'm mechanically minded in automotive, i can pretty much do anything (i'm in tech school)
but i know absolutely nothing about boats, but i'm not afraid to try.
so with that said, should i waste my time with the 470? is there any other motor that will match up and basically plug'n play? i would like to get this out on the water with minimal work (but i will do whatever is necassary)
i basically need as much info as anyone can throw at me. i love learning and that's half the reason i bought the boat
