Got it thanks for the info!

Sent a PM today..

Just a curious person here but that mileage of 1 mpg seems kinda low for a 26’ boat. What engine(s) did it have? I consistently get 2.3-2.8 on a multi day trip to the islands in my 24’ with a single gas v8. My range is around 200-230 with 94 gallon tank and I have put over 4,000 miles on the...

Sweet, thanks for the update! Nice to see it went to a good home and is going to be used.

Yep the one I posted has a carb and spark plugs lol. Sorry for any confusion I caused. Bump for an awesome sled!

Could be I don’t look at the details just the header. I think the 1.7 Mercury was only about 125 hp?
