    It might, as you say, be easier to just bite the bullet and spring for a pair of M11s. Not cheap, but boy would you have a fine boat at the end of the process. No money, maybe, but a great boat.

    Maybe Randy can show me how to drive it with one motor?

    Listing agent just emailed me back. It went pending Friday with no contingencies.

    I heard the boat is really nice and the whaler is worth 10k alone. Engine problem is supposed to be the typical aging 92 cylinder seals leaking into the oil pan. Personally I’d pop the heads off reseal the liners and run it.

    I resemble that comment!

    The (literal) dollar I paid for mine only makes sense, in retrospect, if I'd scrapped it out.

    Here in Florida no problem if you educate yourself and know what really needs to be done. 99% of the horror stories are people who thr someone the keys and say call me when you’re done. Most of my friends are commercial and charter guys. You fix what’s broken and run it. People get oversold on jobs. And not to fault mechanics but but they are going to err on the side of covering their asses. And to be fair half these owners hav something done and the next day something completely unrelated breaks and they blame the mechanic so his cya option is to replace everything to be safe.
