thanks gerry, i bought the boat in 2011 , for a good price ! the merc came with it i took it out three times then got towed in for a shot alternator. thank god i had see tow cause it was a 20 mile tow ! replaced alt and went out a few more times then had more problems , been battling problems ever since . i finally came across some money to take care of this once and for all (at least for a decent amount of time ) the boat is in great condition for the age . so my thoughts is i do not wanna put my trust into a used engine ! i wanna go brandnew with warrenty ! i wanna make sure i break the engine in the way it should be . i just dont wanna spend a lot of money to have problems or someone elses headache ! i know i can have problems with a brandnew engine also which i am aware of but with a great warrenty and problems that persist i can turn to the manufacturer dealer or options like lemon law ect . id just feel more comfortable with brandnew
