Go look, if it's a stringer, then it's not worth fixing.

OK, *a local guy has a "boat" a pretty good sized cuddy, and his
outdrive is locked up. Well, He found out that it's got an OMC
outdrive. He doesn't know which.

Did OMC still use "Stringers" in 1988? or were they the "Cobra"
drives?

Not sure but could it also be the Volvo-Penta Hybrid?

I haven't *been over to see for myself, so my info is quite limited.- Hide quoted text -

Thanks for the advice, guys. I do think I will need to go look at it.
He can't describe it for crap. But I do know that he said that last
year he "hit something",. So, lord knows what he's got and what damage
is done....- Hide quoted text -

Heh, that's kind of like the last, and very last restoation I took on.
I was told it had a "little rot".. I did not know that some 20 parts
including the chine logs, keel and bottom, stringers, and a few
transom parts had a "little rot". Good luck, I don't do restorations
anymore, because of that one boat...
