Finally found a motor a couple weeks ago, had been looking for months, ended-up buying a 1990 Stratos for the motor.
Maintenance wasn't a priority, section of fuel line.

In the process of ordering parts to rebuild (6) carbs, along with replacing fuel bowls (which had a problem with warpage), thermostats, water pump, plugs, seals, etc. Been painting motor parts in the meanwhile.
Did also modify Stratos controls to work on my console, just need longer cables now. Also planning to add hydraulic steering.
The cowl louver vents were broken, and no longer available, so I made new covers, and will screen the back sides to keep wasps out.

Well, that's about it in a nutshell. Sorry for order of pics, but I bounced-around while waiting on parts/materials. LOL, I'm tired from just posting.

Man alive! I was really impressed until I realized it's April 1st.
