I gave them a call and it turns out that they are used and shop overhauled.
Or I would have bought them.

They do have new 3YM30 for about $6500. I think they are rated 29 hp versis
27 hp for the 3GM30. Is it worth it to upgrade?

Thanks

I have also found new direct replacement engines of the same
size for $3995 each.

New 3 cyl. Yanmars for $3995? Could I have the name of that dealer?

I've been a bit envious of my friend's new 3YM, but its for small things, like
the waterpump is mounted with the cover facing out, not in. I don't know if
that, and a few other little niceties, is worth the premium you'll pay. The 2
extra hp probably won't be noticed.

The question in my mind is will fixing up the 3GM's give you rebuilt engines, or
will they still effectively have 3000 hours?

The saildrives should have survived the submersion well - they're effective
sealed.

I thought something had to be fishy. A replacement 2GM for my boat is more
than the price you were quoted. Yanmars are great engines but the company
should really be investigated for price fixing since almost every dealer sells
for list and it's tough to get a discount. This on top of the fact the things
are overpriced in the first place. Almost $5k for a 2 cyl diesel. **** you
can buy a built Chevy V8 street rod crate motor for that kind of money.

Oh and talk to some multi guys about props.
Some of the folders will unfold at the speeds a multi will generate.

Hell if I would waste the money on folding props for a heavy cruising cat. And
I love folders.
