Pull the motors and replace with 50 HP sailboat motors that burn .25 gph.
Add a lead keel cap. Ballast and Xtra water tanks. Then you cruise it at 4 to 6 kts and live off the inverter for months at a time. No need for ac. Hand pump fresh water and head. Look at all the money you'll save.

Re: Good Deal??? 1990 58C
I didn't know these had 16-92s. Did I read that right?
3406Es sound like a good bet. Enough power, use less fuel, and easier to work around. You might even get something for the remaining working engine and the broken one as a core.

She's on eBay now, 4 days remaining. Seller has removed the reserve and current bid is $45,100.
if the description is true, the boat is essentially free. Sure looks too good to be true.
