Ring 21 Mercruiser 350 mag MPI

[darexms]

I'm due to view a Ring 21 (1993) with a 2001 Mercruiser 350ci magnum MPI fitted. Apparently the engine is spot on, the trailer looks pretty fecked and the boat isn't mint but a little TLC should see it right. Price is £7995.00.

Should I go and check it out? Is it a good engine choice? Or should i

it cant hurt to have a look,i travelled 450 miles yesterday to view a batboat. had a ring 21c a few years ago,very good boat,although it didnt have an inboard

I like the idea of inboard economy plus it is the closed loop cooling system type, so less corrosion worries. Apparently capable of 70+ mph?

 

[darexms]

Apparently the sterndrive is Alpha 1. Anyone got any views on the Alpha 1's ability to take 300hp?

darexms,

Did you go to see you Ring in the end? I saw that for sale a few weeks ago, looked really nice, especially the engine. I would be interested to know what you thought of it

Alpha is maxed out at 300hp

Was supposed to look at it last Saturday morning but was far too hungover to move till lunchtime

Gonna try and get down there 2morrow.
