My Uncle gave me a 1988 Sea Ray Seville 18' as a gift for turning 18 (probably more so to get rid of a boat, but anyways,) I am fairly adept with automotive engines, I know the Mercruiser 4.3 in this is pretty much the 4.3 in my old chevy pickup, but thats about where the knowledge ends. It came missing a starter and it has 2 solenoid looking devices in a 5gal bucket. I know it needs a head gasket (white oil and water came out of the dipstick when I checked it) and the fuel smells very bad. I don't know squat about boats but I really want one to take the girlfriend and friends out on. Is this a lost cause or saveable?
