I agree with the fuel lines. We just recently bought an 86 model V4 90hp. Under full throttle we started having gas leaks from the pressure. New lines all the way around and runs like a top. I see lots of potential with this new/old boat.

Not related to the issues, but swap out that old impeller, too.

Well I'm back on this project, talked to an aluminum guy this week. He's going to put a floor, float boxes, center console, and extend the front deck with storage. He gets the boat Friday. Until then, I'm tinkering. Almost got all of the paint off. Then will be on to removing little crap, like lights and stuff. Should be fish ready by middle of may.

My first mfg boat was a 1946 Silverline flatbottom V-nose about 13'-10" long. My grandfather's neighbor bought it after the WWII. Both were pilots. My grandfather went with him when he bought it. And the story goes:
Neighbor: "Do you think an aluminum boat will last?"
My grandfather: "Well, their making airplanes out of it now..."
I bought the boat from the neighbor widow some years after the owner passed. I had been using it at my grandfather's lake house for about 15 years before that since it rested on the neighbor's property. Bought it in '92. Sold it in 2000. Silverline went on to become a yacht company after the war.
