the genny is probably the original 6.5 onan. parts are scarce and expensive or non-existent.
with the internet the 427's are serviceable motors, meaning you can get parts.
you wont be able to walk into your local auto parts store and ask for parts.
9 out of 10 will insist its a 427 chevy motor.
big ticket marinization parts, like risers and exhaust manifolds are out of production.
there are guys who will custom make the risers for you.
farmingdale LI has one, thats where mine came from.
my friend has the 74 model with merc 454/330hp motors and has the same performance.
repowering: you will not be able to get the motors in or out of the boat with breaking them down.
i cut a hole in the flybridge and the yard lifted it out when i rebuild my port engine.
sounds worse that it was and saved me having to breakdown and reassemble it inside after running it on the hard.
Aha! Yes, I was wondering about access issues for a repower. Sounds like I was right to be concerned.
Thanks!
