You want Reel to swing by on his way to NJ and pick up that 89 200 sitting in my back yard?

What the? I hate that. I purchased a rebuilt 200 Merc thet let go twice, no windows in the block. Even had a Merc Master Tech put it on the dyno to get the jetting right, timing, the whole 9 yards.. We sized it up right to make sure it was ready the second time. Still stuck a piston at WOT after 20 hours breakin time. Never put a finger on it, gut tells me a bad carb. I feel your pain, bad stuff happens to good folks.
Sometimes sharing the carnage helps to lessen the blow.
You will be back to riding in no time. No hill for a climber...

No idea what happened, every thing was running like a top.
No smoke, no noises until running at normal cruise about 3800 rpm and then splat.
I would think where the hole is I threw a rod. ByGrace that is the same thing you had I guess.
Now I have a big quandary, put a new motor on costing 14-18 thousand for a big block four or two stoke. On a fifteen year old boat? that even after I do it will only be worth about 10 grand.
Take a chance on another used engine that I know nothing about? for who knows how much.
Or spend thousands getting this one with a new power head rebuilt?
I like the new idea but really can't afford it.
I'm not a happy camper right now that is for sure.

Willy, yep, my motor threw a rod right through the case.

Hey, what about buying a motor from Skools?
