Nice video bud and Great job on the boat but out of curiosity did you change the gimble bearings because it sounds like they were whining pretty bad but then again could just be the video, would like to see more of the boat... Thumbs up!!
Thanks Huntntrucks. I've changed the gimbal bearing... the outdrive is a little noisy. I've put close to 400 hours on the boat since this video was taken. Here's a build thread link on the chieftain. forums.iboats.com/forum/boat-repair-and-restoration/completed-boat-projects/9397360-1974-21-chieftain-165-mercruiser-restoration
see the restoration link below.. to see what it takes to build up a boat like this.
