It would take a lot of money, far more than the boat is worth. I´d guess about $50 - 60k minimum by the time you do all fuel syatems, struts and shafts. For that money you could find a very nice newer..... |

Does anyone know much about the Yanmar 4LH 240 hp engine. After searching around that looks like it might be a good replacement.
Any thoughts? |
