We were going to go for a test drive and got a call that it wouldn't run. Apparently it was winterized and no one drained the water out of the engine so it cracked the block. No biggie, we have a built 350 sitting in my garage so we picked up the boat cheaper. We found out the outdrive on it wouldn't support the power from the engine so we were in search of a newer outdrive. We found one (alpha drive, yes not the best, but better than what we had) and began to grind out the transome so we could reglass and fit the new outdrive. We sent it out to get rebuilt and long story short, the guy dissappeared. In the meantime we got more info on the boat and it has a crazy buldge on the hood, which signifies it was a 454 boat which was rare. My dad found a damaged Baja in Ohio with a fresh 454 and bravo drive and a new trailer. Him and my brother drove out there to get it and now we're reglassing the transome and the 454 is going in

That's awesome! I love the styling of those...Which Bravo drive? And where do you/would you boat?
