I think I'm gonna keep my boat and repower. I would really like to find a newer engine/v-drive combo taken from a wrecked ski boat as it would be lighter and easier to work on that the current set up. My block is bad, and I suspect water is getting into the v-drive oil as well. If I can find a 327 Q cheap enough, I would consider just replacing the engine and taking my chances with the trans, the trans has been rebuilt. Anyone have any ideas or know of any running 327 Qs? I really do not want to go the long block swapping everything out route. The boat has just been sitting in the shop, and that brand new trailer pictured above has not moved in almost 2 years! Blame it on divorce.
