Re: Cheep repower
2ndFiddle,
I'm no mechanic and I'm fairly new to boating, but I would buy both of those engines. *Even the engine that took in salt water can still be useful as a parts motor later down the road if you should ever need them. *Or, as you said, you could take your time with it and rebuild it. *Or, you could simply remove the good parts and put them up for sale on Ebay. *Either way, $2300 just for the good engine seems like a good deal to me, especially with the controls. *
And as far as removal and installation of an outboard, it's a piece of cake. I was able to do it with no prior experience. So, if I could do it, you certainly can. ;)
