Do you like it's classic looks, strong construction and its handling, ride in a heavy sea? Chances are, you like everything about your boat…......except one thing its power.
Or a new boat is out of your budget and you are tired of the financial burden to keep up with the little problems of an older engine and you want to incorporate the latest in fuel injection or digital technology that your current engine does not support......... not a problem.......Repower.
Unlike a car that is largely used up by the time the engine wears out, a boat can live on, often through several engine changes. A well designed hull has a timeless style - a thing of beauty whether on the dock or on the water.
To some the mere thought of replacing their tired engines with a pair of new fuel efficient ones sound great, however, to others the task may appear somewhat daunting. After all repowering any inboard is a little more involved than dropping a new outboard onto a transom.
A few basic considerations will help define your repowering project
A successful repower project involves two equally important decisions.
