WOW! Great find.
Those look like Bz portlights - worth up to $800/Each (new, if you can find them).

Re: columbia defender hull #60
Well there is a change of plans for the
engine I'm now selling the
Volvo and installing a
westerbeke w10-2 that I picked up on Monday spent 2 days
cleaning it and getting it running . All I have left to do is replace all the hoses and
paint it . I hope to have it installed by the end of October. More pictures to follow .

No not free . Cost me a c note for the engine and 60 for the
fuel to go up and pick it up .
And at half the weight and physical size I'm ok with losing 2 hp .
Not to mention the lower
fuel consumption it increases my range by about 30% .
Now I just need to find a buyer for my Suzuki
outboard and the .Volvo.
