I pulled the engine out today, the transmission is a velvet drive 1:1 . transmission output is reverse rotation, the front of the engine drives the transmission, water pump and alternator. the prop under the boat is LH rotation, appears to be the original Chris Craft prop from the 1940's . near as I can tell the boat is a 1947 sportsman that was converted to a v8 and center console controls. The cedar planking hull is surprisingly in good condition, the plywood that was added later to the boat is all dry rotted. the boat was completely fiber glassed at some point and is delaminating. Sad , could be a nice boat again, but would be way too much work to strip off all the glass. I disassembled the engine, it has not been run. rocker balls were still coated with assembly lube. inside of the engine shiny new. I was considering using the powertrain to build another boat, maybe not. I built a PM38 during covid and I have been looking to build a mahogany runabout. I thought this boat would be repairable or a drivetrain donor , but most likely I will just part it out and keep looking.

Unfortunately you have a wooden boat that was dying and someone glassed it thinking that would save it. I've seen too many boats like that. I owned one back in the 80's. The only way to saved the hull is strip off all the glass and replace the wood. Reconstruct it the way it was built. But that is a huge project. However, the engine sounds like it is good.
