We bought a 67 Hydrodyne Flat Top, with 6cyl. Chrysler engine a couple of months ago. We only paid $800 for it. It needed a few minor repairs, and new seats, but it is really in excellent shape, and now runs really good. Does anyone know how much these are worth, not that we would sell it now, after all of the work put in it. We love it! You can fish about anywhere in it, and it goes really fast, too! It has a new gas tank in it, but the old original one is still in it. Does anyone know how much these tanks are worth? Also, what all do you have to do to the engine to winterize it? Thanks, anyone!
Re: What is a 67 Flat Top Chrysler inboard engine boat worth The question about winterizing should be in the engine question area basically so anyone can easily find it. The most important part is to get the water out of the engine and drive. I add antifreeze after draining because there is sometimes trapped water and it prevents corrosion. There should be a drain or drains low on the engine block, on the exhaust manifold, and on the exhaust elbow. The lower unit oil should be changed in case there is water in it. The engine should be fogged with an oil preservative. The oil and filter should be changed. The fuel filter should be changed. The water pump impeller should be changed. A fuel preservative should be added. The carb should be run dry or drained. If it has been run on fuel with ethanol in it I would dry out the entire fuel system. Most people will not agree that this is necessary. The details of how to do all of this vary. You should seek a manual for your drive. Search online for that. jim
Re: What is a 67 Flat Top Chrysler inboard engine boat worth I don't believe that Chrysler made a v-6 in 1967. If you can post the model of the drive and engine I might be able to help further. jim

Re: What is a 67 Flat Top Chrysler inboard engine boat worth Thanks for all of the replies, and help, guys! My husband is not very computer savvy! The title says that this is definitely a 67 Chrysler Hydrodyne. My husband and his brother worked on the engine, and it is an inline 6, 150 horse.
