Stumbled upon the boat, after going to buy a Mastercraft that turned out to be a dog. The boat looks really good, and the owner had it listed a few weeks ago for $8,500 on Craigslist. He took it to the lake, and it developed a miss, so he took it to a Mastercraft dealer to have it checked out. They found a blown head gasket and tore it apart, and left it apart, because he was told that they did not do that kind of work.
They said they could put a new engine in it for him..............you think? With 300 hrs.....don't think so. Anyway, I dealed for it and paid $6,500. Pulled the other head today and prepped it and installed new high quality Felpro gaskets, unlike the paper junk that came factory. Problem........broke a dang head bolt while torquing final sequence. Now, I've got to pull the dang thing back off to fix that. Should have it fired up tomorrow sometime. :-)
