Something for sure. Could have been some older gas, I could have ran a tank dry and leaned out the motor. It happened too long ago to remember. It looks like it got the intake valve too, that's about the last thing that I need to replace and then it can go back together. I've got a few calls...

Head looks fine thankfully. There's definitely some witnesses marks but it doesn't look like it tagged a valve. Could have been way worse!

Found it! And I feel really lucky Pistons and rings are already ordered, I might be boating by this time next weekend

Find a used Glenwood or similar type of timing cover. My Hondo actually used a Moon cover. Use 3/8 or 1/2 plate to make your mounts. Also, Look through D21's site, he sells those plates precut and drilled. Both the from and flywheel sides.

if the bunks were in the correct position you would see the runner steps much better. from the top, its going to look just like our old Hondo's, the bottoms are in fact very different. another clue is look at the gunnel tank brackets. there is clearly a step in the floor at the outside edge...

You may be able to flip the stringer rails to get the motor lower. Id try that before trying to hang the motor mounts below it. I dont believe that height will really upset the handling of the boat, its not going to be running around single pin buoy turns.

agreed, my '71 is the same way

Hondo shaft log, I was told those were factory installed items. It's not a Sanger lol

Look up D21 enterprises for a driveshaft cover https://www.d21ent.com/category-s/165.htm

He launches it with an F-150................................ and it looks like its screaming when its headed down the road!

nicely bought and sold!

Im still saying its an early Hondo Runner bottom, not a Sanger at all. I looked at your motor pics and that drive shaft angle looks wrong. Not saying it wont work, but it may not be ideal. I guess theres plenty of angle there to keep the needle bearings moving though lol

Nice deal here! I bought a '16 and about the only difference is leather and I paid more about 6 months ago. That being said, I may be a buyer of the steps if they dont work out on the new ride.

removable hardtop

Ding ding ding!!!!! Yep, same Dan lol and still one of the nicer houses in that area of the park

I think I know the Dan that you are speaking of, I cant for the life of me remember his last name lol! He had a bigger garage on C row. He was out of the park shortly after I bought down there

I have an ice maker 😁

That will be a bummer. I like Pancho's and I like the fact that its close to home and never busy. Sunday breakfast burrito special is always good

Sold

Wish you knew where that Riviera went, Id love to add one to my fleet
