YMMV for sure. I can have my engine out in just under an hour working by myself and faster with help. I am on my third engine and did every bit of the swaps myself, so it seems routine. Some boats have challenging access, but for me I use the main halyard and out she comes. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I

Worse on some boats than other, of course. I am sure you realize we are talking about a lot more then pulling a 20 dollar bill out of your pocket. . I think you (Joe) may have done a reinstall, and maybe some people like that work. I do it, but I don’t like it. Also, how long you are going to keep the boat. When you get to 4,000 Hours on an engine, it’s kind of like hitting 65 – you might have another 25 good years in you, or . . . not. You’re never sure. There is a great feeling of confidence of leaving the dock with a new engine. Also, there is always a great secondary market for good, used engines. I sold my used Perkins on Ebay with no problem, after installing a nice, smooth running Kubota. K sara, k sara.
