I just bought a 1976-78 Starcraft with a Mercruiser 140. It runs nice.
Is there anything I should worry about? Expensive part replacements?
Hard to find parts I should have on hand? Things to check? Keep good
maintenance on? What would you do? and Why?

Have somebody that knows his way round a Mercruiser
pull the outdrive and look for water damage.If not grease the
universals etc., if so replace the seals.
Wait a while, and you will be replacing gears too.
