Default Re: Sell engines as is or fix em and sell em?

I think a replacement engine could be had for 1200-1400. So you could dump the bad one on ebay and replace it with a good one. There are a few shops popping up now that rebuild 2 strokes. I bet if the economy keeps heading in the same direction they will look like pretty smart guys.

What makes the most sense for the type of boating you do? If you don't run that often, the fuel savings on a new engine will take a long time to get to. How often are you offshore?

There is also the smoke and thunder issue, but I say $1200 beats $12000 any day. We would all be running carb'd 2 strokes (ok fine maybe not premixed) if not for the EPA.
