New engine

[jorgeinmiami]

Today I got the numbers to get the engine they gave me to get it running right. My guy which I have confidence in gave me the issues with it.
1 cylinder has low compression, not terrible but on the low side. He said once the engine runs and the cylinder get wet it would come up...but its probable it would. I need a new power pack as it's not sparkling on all cylinders, lower unit would need to be rebuilt. Etc.......
He recommended not to move forward sell it for what I can and get something else.

Options are a new engine or look for a nice used engine.

He does have a Johnson 200 which he just rebuilt painted and he wants 4k for it.

Not the news I wanted to hear but it a boat and we all know what that means

Plan on shopping Zuke, Merc and Yamaha next week and see how much of a whole its going to leave.

Good thing is that the wife is down for getting a new engine
