Ok, so next step is to fork out the loot for a survey. I can digest that, no problem. A quick question, though. Can this gas engine be sold off and a diesel be installed in its place? I want to do some off shore stuff, and to be honest I am a bit PARANOID about fire. I really like the...

Yep, it's definitely a 350. I am not sure where I pulled the 5.4 from...maybe a buddy that I was talking to right after I stopped by. The mechanic definitely 100% positively said 350 from what I wrote down in my notes. Price is in line for being 22 years old you think?

Ok, here's the scoop.......... The boat is a 1988 25-foot w/pilot house. It has a 5.4L gas "equivalent to a Chevy 350 small block" engine. Boat has been serviced by same guy since 1990 (I spoke with him actually, not the owner). $3K in upgrades two years ago. Windless anchor (electric)...

Hey guys. Thanks for the great replies. It goes to show just how little I know about boat engines, as I did not even pick up on the fact that it is a gas engine and not a diesel. How embarrassing!! :oops: Anyway, now that we have that all figured out, I have another Parker (25-foot) close to...

Hey Guys, I am brand new here, so I am sorry if this topic has been beaten to death. I tried searching for it, but it seems that the threads are a bit old. I am hoping for some new input. I recently found this boat while searching the Internet for Parker IO boats...
