79D50 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I am throwing this up to see if there are any interested parties before I list this locally. I have a running L18 with approximatley 50-60,xxx miles on it. It has a Weber 32/36, Offy Intake, mild head work etc. It has no exhaust manifold. It had a header but I took it off becuase one tube was smashed and gave it to DATDOUG. Taking Realistic Offers - Remember, it runs well and has no leaks or BS modifications. The engine is located in Washington State. You can PM me. This is posted in the classified section as well. Quote Link to comment

Are you a crabber? No, not a crabber. I just like the coast. I used to work on the draggers out of Dutch Harbor. Now I sail on research ships out of Seattle. Quote Link to comment
79D50 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I fished commercially for about 10 years. I spent a lot of time on Purse Seiners in the SE District of Alaska. I dragged on the Unimak Enterprise out of Dutch in 1995. Tyson Seafoods owned that boat. Tyson bowed out of the industry when the floor fell through in 1997-98. I fished for Squid and Sardines in California which we called pleasure seining. I ended up talking to some guys when I was in Ilwaco and it's good to see the industry still alive and kicking. If you're interested in the motor we can talk some more. Quote Link to comment
79D50 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hey fella's...I got many of your PM's and just spaced on getting back. I took the spare L18 apart today to examine the head, block, timing cover etc. In a nuitshell this would not have been an ideal candidate for a direct replacement. The pictures will tell the story. I will have a a better description up tomorrow when I can get my camera pics downloaded. Some of these parts will be up for grabs. --Paul Quote Link to comment
