Re: Nice boat, bad motor
Screw the brackett. :o I have a 470 mercrusier on a stepv20. The 470 is the best motor out there mercrusier ever made there are some updates to the motor that are really easy to install that makes this motor crank in open water. I just had mine completely rebuilt for $2,500. it is stonger then ever. the 470 or 170 are great on gas and at $4.00 plus a gallon I'm fishing Block Island from Montauk NY on a 1/4 tank of gas. "Rebuilt it" find some one that knows the engine. If you like I can give you a number of the shop that did mine in Riverhead NY.
P.S. Brackett= $3,000 to $5,000
150 to 200hp outboard= $15,000 to $20,000
470 Rebuilt= $2,500.00
You do the math.
470 Fresh water cooled dady likey. ;)
