CHris Craft Roamer Parts I am in process of restoration of a 35' Chris Craft Roamer and have need for 430 Lincoln parts. Please advise if available. Thanks.
Hi guys, I hope someone got those motors, because with only 400 hours they are capable of wearing out several other owners. More often than not, marine motors sit around and don't get used much. Low hours like that won't show much running wear, but corrosion might be an issue on electricals, perhaps elsewhere internally. If they had good oil and were run reasonably, they're able to run for many years. Here is a file for you Roamer guys, who (also) use the 430 motors in your boats. Our commanders came with them in 1964 and 1965, until CC transitioned over to the 427.
