[QUOTE="Allen, post: 229019, member: 389"] If you really like the boat and have no intention of ever getting rid of it, I would go to Jeff's or somewhere else and look for a lightly used 4-Stroke. [URL]http://jeffsoutboards.com/for-sale.aspx[/URL] You get out on the ocean and intercoastal waters you will see an awful lot of 15-20 year old boats with brand new engines. They put enough hours on them to where they go through 2-4 motors over the life of the boat. We are kind of strange up here in that we have a tough time convincing ourselves to repower an older boat. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I forgot to add a question about your overall thought(s) on the rest of the motor. Does it have a ton of hours on it to where a lower unit or charging system are not only next, but soon? You would hate to sink $2-4k (I have no actual idea what it would cost to rebuild) into a new powerhead only to then have the motor nickel and dime you with $1k repairs shortly thereafter. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] p.s.s. I would seriously consider upgrading to that 2014 4-S Yamaha with 115 horses under the hood. It would seem like a whole new boat if you put something like that on it! [/QUOTE]
