1982 Convinsor lands in 2016, In PA & NJ of all places!

Very cool , control levels , i wonder what type of stering wheel and adapter did you used to replace the original stering wheel .
 
So it's been a great first season with the old Convincor. The last time we were out was the weekend before Labor Day for a trip from the Delaware river through the C&D canal to the north of the Chesapeake where a bunch of us camped on Sand Island. An awesome trip.

On the return trip the next day, I blew up one of my 225's....

Turns out the clasp on the oil tank slipped off and the connector came off resulting in the engine burning through the reservoir on the block before throwing a rod north!

So the hunt was on for replacement(s).
Thanks to young Ramifications' contacts, I have ended up with a pair of 3.0l 250's. One was blown (same cylinder as my 225, and one good).

We mounted the good one last weekend and will upgrade my good 225 to a 250 (with parts from the blown 250) soon as well as bleed the steering for a test run before end of season.
