    Mount 3 of the seven marine engines on the side with the bad engine. Use the other as their twin?

    And it would still be slow and old fashioned compared to what that money can buy.
    You, of course, are absolutely correct from your standpoint. And wrong at the same time from others. There are absolutely valid reasons people spend 100-200K plus restoring Hemis, Stangs and Vettes that are then worth half of whatever they have in to it...... (Me, I'm a scion of Lucas, but the pain is the same) Then there's people that ride old Harleys that rattle their fillings like nobodies business.... There are MUCH more comfortable bikes out there.

    All a matter of preference.

    Bringing this boat back to life would not be an investment. But it would be a hell of a ride. And that is priceless.

    Bingo!
    I'm thinking about return on the dollar, or more accurately trying to lose less of it than absolutely unavoidable.
    Also, I guess all the new super fast boast on my dock have skewed my thinking.
    Let's face it, owning a yacht makes zero sense (no one "Needs" one) so if we accept that than spending whatever on any foolish project makes perfect sense.

    Like my pristine Norton Commando for example. Hail to The Prince Of Darkness!!

    Besides, if it threw a rod out of the block the crank is almost certainly trash....

    A nuclear power plant trusted it to do the same repair on one of the emergency backup generators that powers emergency reactor cooling. So yes, I would trust it, if done properly. But, I probably wouldn't trust the other engine to not blow up as well.....

    To many tears on this thread to get caught up on everything.
    Is there a brokerage ad on her now?

    Link to an "updated" add? I couldn't find it.
