Capt JG,, I looked into this. I have a plan.. It might cost around $125
but that isn't so bad.

===========

Now all I need is a working AT4, in OK Condition..

Yeah... A4s are quite reliable as long as they're in good shape. The main
problem seems like for a rebuild would be getting it out of the boat. The
work should be pretty straightforward.

A boat I am interested in .. Alberg 35. It still has the Atomic 4,,
Universal Engine .. GAS.

Access to the engine is very easy. And, I am not against a gas engine,
per
say. So, to save money [oopps], I want to take the engine out of the
boat,
get the engine rebuilt and put back in.

Does the engine need a rebuild, or just a bit of a tune up in place?
Replace the ignition system for about $120 in Delco parts, test the
compression, and you may be just fine.

That's cheap...

That's about what it cost me in $CDN in Sarnia this summer for plugs,
points, condenser, coil, rotor, and plug wires. I bought everything
because it was easier than going back and forth without a car. Turns
out wires, points and condenser would have done the job for half the
price, but now I have a better stash of spares. One of the big pluses
on the A4 is that a lot of the expendables are automotive standard, at
automotive prices.
