    Outboard surgery on an Alberg design would be a sin.

    DON'T DO IT !!!

    Fix the Atomic four. Do not wreck your boat. Please.

    With all due respect ,

      I did a search...cut and paste this into a google search;

      Atomic 4 site:craigslist.org

      It will search all of craigs list for atomic 4 no area restriction.

      A bunch of them show in SFBay area.

      Not sure how close that is.

      You have to be careful, though. people use the term "rebuilt" pretty loosely.

      I heard the phrase "aerosol rebuild" recently and it does sum it up nicely.

      They wire brush it and spray-paint it and call it "rebuilt." A running takeout should cost no more than $500

      one guy showed a receipt from 2001 and advertised his engine as rebuit and was asking like $2400!

      I'm sorry but an 11 year old rebuild no longer qualifies as rebuilt!

        sloop..I found things the PO did on my boat 20 years ago, and he acted like they were recent upgrades!

        "I used to have a big ol' LORAN here that took up this whole area, but in about 1990 I upgraded to this tiny unit."

        At least when I got the boat, the LORAN towers were still transmitting....
