So that's the real question. If you are happy with the current boat
but need a new engine, then new engine it is. If you look at this as
an opportunity to get a newer boat, then spending the $1K on the
engine rebuild will only pay off in selling price and make the boat
more valuable.

you could be fcorrect, Tom, but knowing the average tire-kicker (is
that the right term to use?) It seems like the engine is
insignificant, that is to say, most people don't really care if the
engine is "rebuilt" or not as long as it runs. ie new parts
are still used parts.

I could be wrong, because I really don't know that much about
marketing a boat, but I've seen people advertise stuff on ebay with a
lot of "new" and "rebuilt" features, and it still doesn't seem to
bring any more than a compatable craft that is origional, running,
and in the same compatable condition.


i could be wrong, though
