Subject: seaskiff seahawk restoring

Hi! My husband and I rescued a '67 35' seaskiff. We actually traded a perfectly good 22' bell bouy for it and quite enjoy it as a 'downtown' pad but now the costs are a rising! She has 327 engines that we are told need re-building. New risers, etc.....quoted $10,000. minumum to fix. We have stripped and revarnished all the mahogany on her, new v-berth cushions, and all that cosmetic stuff but now unless we can find new engines, she'll be sitting or for sale. Any suggestions?

A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FIRST, WHAT IS SPECIFICALLY WRONG WITH YOUR ENGINES BRIEFLY AND WHERE ARE YOU ;OCATED GEOGRAAPHICLY? THERE ARE OPTIONS I HAVE USED USING AUTOMOBILE ENGINES AND CONVERTING OVER THE MARINE COMPONENTS. I MAY KNOW OF SOMEONE IN YOUR AREA FOR MORE HELP TO YOU.

I need to clarification a few things related to your post for the 1967 Sea Skiff 35' SeaHawk. Unless I am mistaken, a "SeaHawk" is the name/term that Lyman attributed to their 35' Sea Skiff. So is your Sea Skiff a Lyman 35'??? Or is it a Chris Craft 35' Sea Skiff?? If you have a Lyman 35' Sea Skiff SeaHawk, I may be interested in buying it from you.
*** You should be able to find replacement engines or ship you engines off to be rebuilt. Yes, I would say the price tag for this should be somewhere in the $10,000 range for rebuilding + new manifolds & risers. And even more for replacement / new engines.
*** Let me know what kind of boat that your really have
Thanks

I'm finally reading this again!! sorry for the delay. It is a 1967 35 ' Chris Craft Seaskiff Seahawk (that's on the chrome signature on the outside.
I don't know how to find out if it's a Lyman, would there be a number or tag????? She's beautiful as we've completely stripped,sanded and varnished her inside and out. The starboard motor needs a new carberator. I can send pics of her if you want. Susan
