Hello I'm Jon and I'm new here I just picked up a 1965 correct craft with a 283 chevy. The boat was involved in a fire so there is some repairs to be made not too extensive Buenos needs to be done... I'm going to give it a good look over this afternoon and post some pics.

Jon,
Use the "post reply" and not the quick reply that's at the bottom of each thread. Click on the tree with the up arrow icon and a browse box will come up.

Yup, it sure looks like the same boat. Here's a direct link.
Jon,
Do you know anything about the fire? How it happened?

The guy explained that thay where tuning the carb and it back fired out the top then spread. Most of the damage is just from the heat. The stbd gunnle is a little soft so I will need to remove the support and relace then fiberglass over. I will prob wind up laying a fresh coat of glass over the dash also.

I recognize it from the photo in the Owls Head photo. I had stopped and looked at it a few years ago. It was somewhere between Alfred/Sanford and the Berwicks. You have your work cut out for you!

And they laughed at me when I handed out two fire extinguishers while trying to get the promo to run this weekend...

I didn't laugh at you. I pull the fire extinguishers out when we're messing around like that at my house. We had fire coming out the carb and the exhaust when we were trying to start up our tique earlier this year. Not a good combo when you're pouring gas down the carb with a cup. We have to find a better method than that.

Nah, still too sloppy Pete- at least for vertical pours. Empty dish soap bottle works better.

I'm pretty sure after I put an Edelbrock carburetor in it I won't need to prore any fuel down the carb so fire should not be a problem

I chuckle when I read about replacing Holley carbs with Edelbrock carbs on boats. Obviously, Edelbrock is preferred over Holleys like Fords are preferred over walking. From my experience with automotive stuff, listed under "Life Experience" on my C.V., it has always been the opposite. Nobody wanted a junky old Edelbrock - you couldn't give them away... literally.

I suppose it's a matter of using the right tool for the mission.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this resto-mod proceeds. If you were closer I'd come over to your house and drink your beer while I watched you work. Err, I mean "help".

Got the windshield off and started cleaning up a little bit. The gauges that I ordered will be here tomorrow I also ordered another matching speedo. I also installed the plug wiers and bared the engine over to make sure all was good and not seized up for anything. I took the month off of work so I will have plenty of time to work on it. I want to at least get it primerd before I go back to work.

Looking forward to following your progress.....

Am I seeing things, or is the fire extinguisher still strapped on the floorboard?

Yeah that's not actually the case around these parts typically.. the holley (or a quickfuel holley style replacement) is generally preferred for a ford application. Chryslers which came with AFBs and spread bore chevys that came with quadrajets would be a little different.   Slapping a new marine edelbrock carb on a ford marine engine and you are typically looking at least at running a wedge spacer to get it to run... and many have given up on the task and went back to their holleys.

Yes the fire extinguisher is still strapped to the kick plate that goes under the dash. And it was unused still good LOL
