Just introducing myself. I recently acquired a 1959 Biesemeyer 4 Point Hydro Boat with a MEL 430. The 430 is a 1958 Vintage and has been modified with a custom made Ed Winfield Cam and a 6x2 Holley Carb and Edelbrock LM6 intake manifold. It's been sitting for 35 years so the adventure is just beginning. Always garaged and covered so I'm hopeful that with a little work I can bring it back to life.

Thanks for signing up. That sounds like a pretty awesome boat. Could you please post some pics.

The plan for Saturday is to replace all water hoses, fuel lines, exhaust hoses to transom, drain fuel tank, change oil/filter, inspect and change spark plugs, Marvel Mystery Oil for each cylinder, install battery, replace water pump impeller. After that I'm having a BBQ for all my mechanic friends and were going to give it a try. Assuming it will run, I still need to replace the Casale V-Drive gasket (leaking) before it will be water ready.

That looks very nice. Hope all goes as planned.
