Congratulations!

Btw, that straight 6 Chevy is a work horse of an engine and its economical too. You'll be toooobing the grandkids all day on a half tank of gas...

Is The John a boater again? Just in time...we were drafting legislation to ban disruptive non boaters from the group. ;-)

Had a great time yesterday . Put 3.25 hrs on my break-in schedule touring the North West Arm, harbour, Eastern Passage area and the Bedford Basin.
Only 8.75 hrs to go and I'll have my full 20 in.

A boat with a straight Chevy 6? Really? How interesting.

Keep me 'filtered'. You don't want to know anything about it.

That was the engine of choice for Mercruiser for years. There are a
****load of 18-22 foot I/Os with the 6 cylinder Chevy truck engine in
them.

Yup, good ol' Mercruiser 165.

Yeah, I know. It was interesting to me because I wasn't aware I/O
manufacturers were still using that engine in current production and, of
course, they aren't. I wasn't aware Herring bought a used boat.

One of my dad's trucks from the early 1960's was a Chevy with a straight
six, and it ran reliably for a long time.

The odd thing is...in the spring when I announced my new boat The John and his Drama Queen, Justine, ridiculed me for being dumb enough to buy a boat with a Mercruiser engine over an outboard equipped boat. There were dire tales of manifolds and elbows rotting away as soon as it touched salt water and the high cost of replacement. Now The John buys an older I/O powered boat. What's up with that?
