I'm looking for a value on this Tahoe.
Stringer are replaced, Rebuilt aluminum Buick 215, gel coats done.
The seats are wrong but everything else is complete.
What do you think? I need to insure

The boat has a Buick 215 but the dipstick looks to be wrong.
Does anyone know the oil capacity for for the 215 with what looks to be a gray marine oil pan

Brad,
What makes you think it's a Gray pan on the 215 engine? Is the engine the Gray 160?

Back when auto blocks were truly marinized, the cast iron or cast aluminum oils pans were common. Then as time evolved, the " economy mode" took over and they simply used the auto stamped steel pans.
