Yes, I can imagine. Have they figured out whether or not it's going
to be repairable, or more like a complete do over?

Current plan looks like a resleeve, new pistons, new upper and lower end on the
existing engine. Still reaching a conclusion based in part upon how much help,
if any, I'm going to get from insurance. May not be much.

I can get a brand spanking new Perkins Sabre for maybe $13-14k.......but that
might well be double the price of a major overhaul and I don't know if that
would require new motormounts. Most likely.
The Sabre is similar enough to the 6354 that I'd be comfortable with it. Not
being a mechanical genius, I like to stick with what I know something about.

What the heck. Looks like its my turn in the barrel!

What you need, Chuckster, is an outboard motor.
