Twin's Vs Single? Similar Horse Power

[gazza2006au]

So, what exactly is the problem with the 90 4st, now that you are questioning it's reliability?

It's not the reliability but more so spending more money on the engine, it needs a intake box ordered from the USA or Canada, it needs a new starter motor from the USA there are obly two available atm new one is $400 plus shipping, it needs a alternator bracket but that is only $100 in Aus from Japan

The other problem is the ECU was smashed open when it blew the last powerhead so really i'm up for all the above plus another ECU but if i buy that i will get a 115hp ECU they are $500-$700USD and probably NLA

Realistically it's still a $5000 engine I'm in it about 2.2k without gauges and unknown hours

How will any of these type of issues not be the case with any random secondhand outboards you buy in your current price point?

3 days ago he said he was getting quotes on a brand new Horizon 525 as well...

Gaz is truly King of the Bullshitters...

Goes ok for a bloke suckling on the government titty hey , maybe we should all go on the bludge and get everything handed to us as well . Seems to be no point in working when you can bludge on everyday Australians, best to not answer or ask questions of this wombat . Matt

Well as some of us have been trying to tell him if it is running well then it should be OK for the time being. Also if it's from a dealer it might have a warranty. Buying a broken down motor is likely to lead to this sort of pandoras box situation.

Those parts are just to get the engine in running order, the reliabilty will be tested after that so if i go to the extent of all those repairs and the powerhead blows i'm literally screwed

The second hand 70's may have there own problems but parts are cheap as for them i can pick up a 3rd engine for spares for a few hundred bucks where as the 90 merc i will basically have to import everything a block is 800, cranks about the same, cylinder heads cost a fortune out of the USA, all the parts for this 90 merc are so expensive because its a verado 175/200 L4 block they are also common to leaking head gaskets which ends catastrophically

you will still need to get all those bits to make it saleable anyway. you won't get anything for it the way it is!

so why didn't you apply this logic before you bought in the first place?
