Hi! Pearson Renegade owner!

Hi all, I recently purchased a 1968 Pearson Renegade 27. I bought it out of the water sitting on a boatyard where I prepaid for three months. I'm on the second month of work. I bought the boat with the carburetor pulled, so I was not sure it would start. I rebuilt it and it started without hesitation. I ran it for a few seconds to avoid damage to the cutlass and raw water pump (hopefully). I'm about to tackle the engine and decided to join the forum for insight! Hopefully I'll be able to get some expertise and share some of my own experiences along the way.

The motor itself has a fresh water conversion, which is great. It also came with ample spare parts. I spoke with the previous owner and he did not know much about the motor. I get the feeling that the original owner babied the motor, but the last owner just ran it until the carb got clogged, or worse.... we shall see!
