    Default 23 Albacore Engine

    Hello I brought my Project boat home on September 1.
    It is an 1979 model w 280 single Prop Outdrive.


    Will a newer Vortec 5.7 work w this outdrive?
    I got a New rebuild engine still in shrink wrap, and NEW Marine Power manifolds and New Risers.

    I am missing everything else. Does anyone have a used Volvo 350, dead or alive?


    Also, do any members recognize the boat from ten or 13 years ago?
    Seller says he picked it up in Mission Bay.

    Is it a AD31, what HP? Do you have gauges, harness, transom plate and every thing a guy would need to get it installed and running?

    I think the 31 might be a little light on HP to go in a 23' Blackman. I have the 40 and wish I had 25-50 more HP at times. I'm sure the 31 is lighter and that could make a big difference in the way a boat would perform. The Albacore Special is also a lighter boat than the Billfisher so it could be a good fit for that boat.

    No I'm not thinking about building another hull just to store my extra engines in.
