Re: To Repower or Not To Repower? That is The Question.
Chris,
Sorry to hear about your engine troubles. Regarding resale value, you'll never get back what you put into the boat, even if you did a keel-up restoration. You could probably get 2/3 of your total cash outlay. With the power options, unless you run a few hundred hours a season and travel long distances, I'd go with the Horizon. Although the Yanmar would make a nice package, it's overkill unless you log a lot of time on the water. I agree, the Suzuki and bracket would run you more than the Horizon/Bravo package, no question.
They are such great boats, I'd do anything I could to keep it. You're already $10K into it, why not go a bit further? It's only money right? [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Surfhunters are nice boats. Ray Hunt could sure design a pretty hull.
