"spares, spares, spares"
About 6 months after acquiring my Catalina 30, I found a rebuildable A4. I had plans to replace the "serviceable" motor in the boat with a really nice overhauled engine but have since changed my mind. My running A4 with good oil pressure and respectable compression readings has become the recepient of a rebuilt water pump, rebuilt carb, electronic converted distributor, and an overhauled starter, all courtesy of my #2 A4. Having a second engine has given me the time to "freshen" up duplicate parts at my leisure and install them on "my" schedual, not when an ailing A4 says so.
