That would be awesome if you could get me a picture of the front mount. I would really like to see the structure of the bilge area under the floor!.

PLEASE!

I will try, all it really is, is a 2x6 board glassed to the hull for the front motor mount. I do not know if I will be able to get a picture this weekend as we are expecting around 3 to 4 inches of rain by Monday.

Whnever is OK. I still have to get the replacement motor looked over and out of my truck. My motor is still in my boat.

Awesome work. And the 3.7 conversion? I didn't know they had a 4bbl.

Yes, engine upgrade from Mercruiser 120 (2.5 liter) to Mercruiser Alpha gear/drive and 3.7 liter. So I extended the front motor mount ahead 6 inches to accommodate the longer engine. The 3.7 liter series of Mercruisers came in 2 or 4 barrel versions, touting and additional 20 horse power with the 4 barrel and the upgraded intake manifold housed an internal engine oil cooler.

Still waiting on pictures of a CVX16SS I/O Bilge structure. Were these boats undesirable or not saved or what?

You're looking for that exact model, but they're essentially all the same...this is the best picture I have of my Metric C-512 which would be identical underneath.

Why do you need pictures ?
Once you remove motor and floor everything you need to know will be there.
Make drawings, take measurements and pictures.
Rebuild it just like it was originally.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen that video. Pretty cool! Love the custom exhaust and custom engine cradle/mount.
