Just worry about heavy snow sinking the boat haha
My 32'er was live aboard. I did on weekends,,LOL
I have been doing some research on the new boat, and i think I am going to pass. It is 1976 doesn't look it but it is. The engine merc made itself. It is an all aluminum block with a cast iron head. The dang thing is 3.7L 4 cylinder with a 460 big block ford head. WOW the 4 puts out 170 horse. God forbid i had to buy any parts for it. They no longer sell the engine. I saw a few used ones but they are 1974. Thats a long time to be on the water. I will look at it but Im almost sure I wont get it. I could have a fortune in parts just to get it running. If I had income i might get it.
1976 MerCruiser 470
The MerCruiser 470 began production in 1976. It was a 3.7-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produced 170 horsepower, a powerful alternative to the 160- and 165-horsepower six-cylinder Mercury engines. The 470 featured a cast aluminum engine block designed by Mercury Marine, the name Kiekhaefer's company had taken in 1969, and the block was mated with an iron cylinder head from the Ford 460 V-8 engine. The same engine block was used in several other MerCruiser engines, including the 170, 190, 485 and 488.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
