Fiddle, hear it run, have a compression check done, it would be hard to dunk one engine and not it's twin, unless the block cracked or a head gasket type of thing.

I belive one motor is good one bad!!

What makes you guys not belive that?? That is why a lot of guys have twins, just incase one craps out you have the other!

Maybe the one wasn't getting oil or something, in this case a gasket might have gone??

Just have it checked out from a good mariner and see, I bet you will be fine and have all the parts you ever want!

If I had the money I be looking at a deal like that!

If I hadn't already done the work I've done to mine, I'd be asking you for the number to that marina... :P

You can get most of your $2300.00 back if you sell your existing motor.

MJ, one motor is bad due to salt water intrusion. How does one get saltwater in it and not the other when they were mounted as twins on the same boat? There may be a reasonable explanation but I'd be careful. Maybe it "almost" sank and had a serious list to one side???

Well they are mine now. Had to match the price the wholesaler was giving $2500. I hope that it lasts as long as my '91.

I will keep everyone posted when I start the work. I know that I will have many questions.

I may also sell my "91 150 and possibly parts from the spare.

Port engine drank the salt water. That should be the counter rotating engine.
