Unless the block or head is bad you would probably be better to fix the old one. Just my 2 cents. Josh Muckley -- When privacy matters. http://www.secure-my-email.com On Jul 16, 2013 10:46 AM, Curtis cpt.b...@gmail.com wrote: O.K I know, I know. I was so proud to get the East Coast Lady

Why? if it shows low compression? Its a raw water cooled 31 year old engine that has never had an hour meter and spent its whole life in salt water. I know the used engine is at least 10 years newer and fresh water water cooled. On 7/16/13, Josh Muckley muckl...@gmail.com wrote: Unless the block

Hi Curtis, I say, Good on you. My reservation is your estimate on this project... you should be able to snag an engine like that on eBay for $1500 tops!... with a pedigree. With a bit more careful procurement of exhaust hose, valves, fuel hose, traps and such for another boat token or so,
