I feel even better now that I've been down to the waterfront to get to know
my local Yamaha mechanic. I said, "2QM20" and he crossed is finger in the
air and said, "You're going to need a new engine. Those are all dying right
about now."

I told him the boat was from the Great Lakes and he said, "Oh, no problem.
In that case, it's a great engine and should be almost as good as new. You
should get 15 more years out of it easy."

BTW I'm a former sailing yacht and tall ship designer still designing
commercial power boats. Feel free to pick my brains about any boats you are
looking at.
