gman, if your still around, you said the motor ran but neeeded work, what motor is on it?

Also, i found out this weekend that the 65 is toast. no compression on #2 and i pulled the head to investigate. It almost looks like electrolysis has eaten the piston up. Bad grooves in that cylinder too. i will prolly just part it out on ebay and save the things i know i might need like the starter and coils. stuff that is kinda generic for many of these omc engines.
