Mercruiser 470 a POS??
I am new to boating and put a deposit on an 89 Wellcraft 192 with a
Mercruiser 470 4bbl. Alpha 1 outdrive. I have a Marine surveyor coming to take the outdrive apart and check out the engine. Ran a hose through outdrive- hard starting, but ran well after warming up (didn't run it in the water). Whiteish-blue smoke- dealer said it was winterized and hasn't been started all year was cause of smoke and hard start. 270 hours. I actually was told this was a good engine and a great outdrive. Seems like a good deal on the boat, but should I walk away and go for a 94 SeaRay 5.0 Mercruiser 120 hours at almost twice the cost? |
