The 351 won't be a problem as that is a common ford engine. But omc is
gone. Parts and service is an issue and is going to get worse.

Im looking at a 1989 bayliner with a Ford 351 engine and an OMC outdrive.
A friend of mine is warning me this is a low budget combo and is just
waiting to break down. Any one had a bad or good experience with this
combo.

Thanks
