yep chevy 350 5.7 ltr - theres nothing wrong with the boat at all, i just put a top anf side curtains on it this summer. even the motor itself is only 3 years old. it just needs put back together. The owner of budget boats came last week to see what he would give me for trade in on a new one........he offered me 2500 as it is right now, taken apart.......he said- you know its a shame you wont take the time to put it back together and install the motor again because i may go as high as 7000......i said i kow,but if i put it back together then i would keep it or sell it myself outright.......i just dont feel like working out in a cold ass garage anymore........here are my new top and curtains.....i made the whole thing myself.....cut,sand,bend weld.....the whole works !!!

i also just put 400 bucks in new bunks and brackets on the trailor this summer too.....brand new brakes system,lines and pads was another 350

as you can see the motor was NOT in bad shape when I pulled it ut last month -

That's the same motor I have in my boat. 350 with mercruiser Alpha 1 outdrive. No, you can't have it!

Go buy a heater for your garage? I have a nice kerosene heater that works very well. It's a forced air kerosene type kinda like the one pictured below.

In a small garage, you could turn that thing on for about 10 minutes and it would be so hot int here, you might have to take a break from p[utting the ole motor together.
