I found a Vire 7 inboard for sale on eBay. Pic looks good, ad says it runs. It includes the transmission. Parts for these engines are extremely expensive. This could be someone's golden opportunity to get some primo parts for a bargain basement price. I used to own one of these and I also rebuilt it. So you'll know where I'm coming from. The URL follows. The guy wants an opening bid of $150.00 plus shipping from Baltimore. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1111042993 I certainly hope someone can take advantage of something that I wish I'd have found before I rebuilt mine in the old boat.
