Need to find out what happened first Willy. If it broke a reed valve theres a chance it just windowed the block and can be patched up. I've seen a few of em with windowed blocks welded back up without even pulling the powerhead(depending upon where it went through). Reed valves breaking is unfortunately fairly common and why I won't run metal reeds in any engine I build up. I've got Bradfords old engine here at the house I could build up for yeah if you want. It lost a cylinder from carbon build-up and stuck a ring. She isn't purty, but I could fix yeah up fairly cheap.

Willy, what a bummer man. If there is anything I can do to help out just let me know. My marina is selling a pair of Yamaha f225's from a repower. I can see if they would sell one to you if your interested.

Wow, Mack Ferm Pete and all you guys are great. Cheered me up just seeing the responses. I needed that.
I will look close by first and see if there are any good deals at hand. Money is a little tight right now so I got to do whats going to give me the best return. Spent some time with Ozzie on the phone and as usual when I talk to him between us things get a little clearer. I got to decide first am I going to keep FishBones for the next several years. If I am, going to try to find the newest I can find for the best price. If I do decide I am going to sell her within a year or two then I am going for used or rebuilt power head.

Thanks Aussie, you are right on the money with that statement.
And Oz I hope so. Still debating and shopping locally, nothing yet.
