Looking for those interested in a day on the river. Want to meet Prescott no wake at 10:30am. Plan is to head north on the Mississippi to just below the ford dam. There is a nice sandy beech we could have lunch. If time works we could lock thru. Will find out more info on gas for those who need it. There are a couple of marinas along the way.
Please respond if your interested in going.

As long as the weather cooperates, we?re in. Maybe even if it don?t?. You going to run that calendar boat?
-
Yep only one I have here.
-
Jeff - Me & Joyce plan to join in, sounds like a nice run. No can do if it's raining though and the CVX18 is pretty small so I'll have to leave the other girlfriend at home! ;)

We are in

Let me know if the dates change due to conflicts or whatever. I'll be out of town and potentially taking my boat up north that weekend. The previous weekend as I'd mentioned I'm free.
-
I should be able to bring the 19. I've never been up that way so that sounds like a fun day.

-
I am planning on it. Just going to dress a little warmer.

Nine boats at one time, nice ride, sun even came out for a wile, good conversation on the beach, and a little sprinkle on the way home? all in all a good day! 60+ miles.. only got lost once?
-
Couple more.. where was the band??
-
Looks like a great day! Bet there wasn?t too much traffic which is great. I see some lows this week in the low 30?s this week. About time to put them away.

Did it overheat and cause the head gasket to fail? Looks like some material on the piston, pre ignition knock?
-
OH OH ...
Is that a hole in center of piston ?
-
Yes, it?s a hole?
The rest of the cylinders look great and the other side has great compression, and the plugs are actually black so it didn?t appear to be a lean condition. So I really have no clue as to the root cause.

WOULD a BBF fit ?
460 ford block - $100

Ford 460 block with heads out of 1978 Glastonbury Carlson cvx-20

That?s a pretty good buy for a 460 if it?s a usable core, but it be pretty tough to put a big block Ford on a MerCruiser. I have a 454 out of a motorhome I think that?s heading towards the boat.

That's what I thought. I was a bit confused as I thought it came with a 260 sbc.

It did

From one of your previous pictures it appeared the Merc 330 had a bravo water pump. Same base engine I used for the intimidator project. Peanut heads but makes lots of torque. Should be an excellent replacement in the cruiser. Alpha drive should survive as long as you are gentle on the throttle.

Mike joes boat has a bravo 3 on it
-
Didn't know that, should be good then.
