- One rebuilt 330 hp. 454 Chevy
Greetings
I have a 1981 260 Sundancer with a Mercruiser 454, Merctrans MCM-E transmission and a TR outdrive. The outdrive will not go full up and boat has a few other issues. I live near Colorado Springs, Colorado ( about 100 miles south of Denver), does anyone know of a marina or boat mechanic in this area that will work on this boat, I'm willing to travel 200 miles +/-? I have an actual Mercruiser Factory Shop Manual for the boat that covers the hydraulics as well as the transmission and outdrive.
I probably should give up on this boat but besides already being into it somewhere north of $10,000. it has taken on a sentimental value as I was fixing it up for my wife, she got one ride and then died fighting ovarian cancer. She didn't give up so I guess I won't either.
