Location: Kodiak, AK | As far as repowering being worth it, it depends on why you're doing it. If it's for the sake of more speed, I'd say no and to mess with set up and enjoy whatever gains you get. But if you're repowering because you've got a motor issue now and you want to keep the boat long into the future, then yes, absolutely it's worth it. But if your motor is sound, even if you want to run the hull forever, wait until you need to repower. I don't think repowering for the sake of rewpowering would often, if ever make financial sense.
I repowered in the spring of 09 because my motor blew, it was going to cost more to rebuild it than it was worth running, and mostly because I plan to be buried in this boat when I die. I bought a new motor and I'm only more and more happy with my decision. |
