Cheep repower
I have a '91 Yamaha 150 that runs like a 15 year old engine. No real problems but has its quirks.
I have a connection to a boatyard that did a repower for a guy. He had twin 2001 Yamaha 150's and somehow the port engine ingested salt water. They want to get rid of the old engines and controls as a set for $2300. Engines have 500 hrs.
Do you think I should try to get only the starboard engine? Offer 12 or 15 & see what happens?
Is there any hope for the port engine? Could it be rebuilt? Sell it to MJ?
This would be a big project for me. I can build a house from the ground up but have never changed an engine.
Thanks,
2F
