Thanks so much for that, I'm going to pick the boat up on Saturday, got a two hour drive to go get it, big boat to tow that far. I'm going to check it over very carefully, its an inline six, though not sure if its diesel or petrol yet, did they put petrol sixes in the Marlin?? The guy has the boat stored in a warehouse, so thankfully it hasn't been left in the water, can't wait to get it, been waiting 14 years to get a boat, always go out on my mates. Again thanks for your info,very helpful.
