OK, so via word of mouth, I found a donor boat about 40 mi away thats an 18' celebrity. It can be had cheap . It was a really nice boat but due to letting it sit outside for the last 5 years, for all practical purposes ithe boat is trash., I'm not sure if it's a 3.0 or a v-6 GM. My friends is a 350 GM, and I've heard that the 3.0 outdrives were different than the V 6 and 8 model engines.

If it's not designed to be waterproof then there may be some sort of weep hole close to the bottom as well. To make sure water is not trapped and freezes. Also the presence of a seal under the crank arm would also indicate the space is not sealed. Sounds like you need to make sure you keep the cable end well lubed. Does it have a rubber boot or some other kind of seal on the cable end

Semi-interesting discussion. But, essentially meaningless because propeller selection is impossible to pinpoint except through trial and error. Any number of computer programs can select the "perfect" prop for your boat engine combination except they won't except by luck. They'll get you close but perfection is only acheived by trial and error. Furthermore, the perfect prop for one set

The pressure created by the prop pushing the boat is orders of magnitude greater than anything you could attribute to spinning the weight of the prop. The different between aluminum and ss would not be noticable. "Josh Assing" <XjoshX@jAssing.com> wrote in message news:ea9k63hgdgic7ivaj62s9l1k6egl0n7ljj@4ax.com...

I purchased 2 props (both alumininum) to reprop with. The guy agreed with me that if I hit stuff; it's better to destroy the prop than the outsdrive -- but for performance, a ss is the way to go. he said the weight issue is silly because it's underwater and doesn't weigh as much and that no one would use ss if it wore out the outdrive faster. So -- Here I am; for curiosity sake; asking you
