switching motors

[toddpoor]

i have a 470 mercruiser i/o in a boat that was wrecked, where can i find an empty boat to put it in... or what kind of boats will it fit in....

The Merc 470 I/Os were used in hundreds..perhaps thousands of boats. I have four here in my 'pile-o-boat-junk' right now. A 21' Four Winns..a 19' Aristocraft..an 18' Dixie and an 18' 'beats me what bow-rider hull it is, I got it for the free parts'...

Befor I give you this link, I'm assumeing you just want to salvage a bad situation and NOT repower your dream boat, right?
Fiberglass mass produced boats are not what I consider real longterm investments. More akin to Hyunda cars.

Buy a junker, fix er up (to a point but don't get upside down in it) and get back on the water.
