Hello Folks how are ya's, Okay I need some HELP big time, I have a real old boat 1978 Crestliner 2. with a outboard, Problem is the motor is cooked! Heres a stupid question what was the motor for that boat? and or can I use a car motor and replace the gaskets with marine gaskets. Or dose anyone know where I can get a working motor cheap. It's just something for the kids to ride at the cottage. And if I could use a car motor what kind would I use? PLEASE HELP! Thank you all. You can e-mail me at inline-tackle-components@rogers.com Whooo I need to change that e-mail, way tooooo long. Thanks Everyone!

Cheers!

Don't try to use an automotive engine to replace a marine engine.

Although it can be done- it will not last.

Are their no labels, #'s, etc. on the engine at all? :?

Well I was able to get up and see the motor, it's a 140 i/o Merc, K here is another stupid question, is there some kind of tranny? The block is pitted unless I can bore it out and find pistons to fit, any idea's?
