Boat Mechanic needed
My brother-in law bought a 24' Rampage last spring. He has had engine issues and never splashed it this year. Basically he needs a good engine mechanic who is familiar with Chrysler inboards.
He needs to have the heat exchanger, manifolds and risers put on and the engine made ship shape. The boat is in Cranston RI and he'd like to get it done this winter/spring. The boat is covered so the person who works on it would be working under cover( he built a frame over the boat.)
Anyone interested please PM me and I will get you in contact with him.

Better solution.
Pop the engine out and put a small diesel in.
Thats a good little hull, I've been 60miles out in one catching Longfin.... |

If he's not handy enough to do all of this himself, he's got the wrong boat.
Once running correct it will be a constant maintenance headache.
With a gas powered inboard (especially an old Chrysler) you'd better be very handy or very rich.
Sell it and finance a 4stroke outboard powered boat.
Make the monthly payments, Turn the key, and go fishing.
