these 318's are i think original(1979). who really knows for sure. only have had the boat for 7 months. they dont run very well. can only get around 2200 rms out of them. they're leaking water and oil very bad. time to change em out.
not sure i can advise on what your in for because im not sure what im in for.
on that check list mentioned is some things that will be replaced. and i am thinking about putting in the engine room lighting. was thinking about running small led's all around the lip of the hatches. i have these led's in red under the gunale on my 24' hydra-sports. they light up the floor very nice. and the red looks awesome. goes great with the vinyl wrap.
