My project boat pics

Would you get any warranty on the '09 opti? How the heck does a very new engine need a whole new powerhead? Catastrophic falure or just a newer engine that has seen a lot of hours in a short time? Sure would be tough to plop down 10 k on a "rebuilt" engine that only a short time ago was brand new (if you don't get any warranty) What is the confidence level with used outboards? Do the maintenance and pray that it lasts?
Project looks like it should be nice and skookum when it's all done.
 
I don't know if you can properly rebuild a v6 outboard. When you take into account things beyond bearings, gaskets and new pistons, consider the hours on the gearcase, trim motor, and somewhat complicated injection system that will destroy a DI two stroke if it so much as hiccups. Ten on a re re you can get a low hour fresh motor for near that.

hi nedard2
had the 30 on my whaler this past summer before putting it on the commander.ran from cow bay to pender bluffs fished and cruised around for 9 hours burned 3.5 gals of fuel smooth and quiet.when the yammi goes on the whaler will repower with a 60 hp etec.gotta love them.
