64 inboard
Well-known member
First off thanks for the previous help...
Im the owner of a 1964 Correct Craft straight inboard boat. A few years ago, I had asked a few questions on the site, trying to ID what I actually had, and found it very helpful.
Well, Im needing some more info. The boat is powered by what is rated at a 100 HP, 170. This year Ive been having some issues with engine oil pressure inconsistancies. The boat still runs pretty good, and its not the best timing(slow at work), but am wondering if this winter is time for a rebuild/ repower, and need to start checking into options and costs?? The boat is used weekly, and reliability is very important. I also have what I believe to be a late 60's "donor" 200 from a Maverick that I would like to use if possible, but have some questions. How much HP and torque can be obtained from a mildly built 200? / What are the normal operating RPMS? / WOT RPMs? /And mainly, will all my "marine-stuff" directly bolt from the 170 to the 200?
Being in a boat the engine must have enough low end torque to get the hull on plane( or pull a recreational skier). Once on plane, the engine pretty much has a constant pull (they dont coast). The engine configuration is a little different than your normal auto. It is a flywheel forward setup, where you can actually see the flywheel.
There is an aluminum engine mount supporting the front and is bolted into what would nomally be the back of the block. The trans is mounted to what would normally be the front of the block, via another motor mount/ adapter, and shares engine oil. The marine oil pan is cast aluminum and must be re-used. The exhaust is an aluminum log-style manifold, cooled by spent engine water, and also must be re-used. Carburation is thru a Carter YH, sidedraft, also used on turbo Corvairs of the day. This was done for engine box clearance.
I,ve posted pics before, but thought it might be best to tag them here also ...
Sorry for the long post...
but any input, ideas, suggestions, etc.,,, are appreciated!
