That would be a good idea if it is a good boat for a nice price.
New engine prices are really driving up costs, so plan on a big chunk of change on a new engine. But if doing it in steps helps that maybe your best choice.
Here is my thinking on engine's. Merc and Evinrude/Johnson has been around for what 70 years. Now because of perceived instability due to the folding/buy out of OMC, Evinrude/Johson are out for me.
That only leaves one choice. Mercury. Now I would have bought a boat with a different engine if it was a boat I really wanted, and wasn't available with a Merc, but my CHOICE would be a Merc.
They are made in the USA, and have been around forever, and run strong even for a rated O/B.
I only know of two ouboards with catastrophic failure/Seizure. Both were Yamaha's. | |
