I have a 23' cuddy cabin boat (rated for a 1999 200hp size) with johnson 175hp motor, over the last couple years i have experienced some vibration at idle and know there is low compression in two of my cylinders. 4 cylinders running at 110 and 98 running in the bottom 2 (seafoam brought it up from 90). The motor starts right up, even if left sitting for months. idles good but you can see it has a slight miss. When running WOT it has a slight vibration, yet sometimes runs very smooth and other times can bogg down and gives little power, then all of a sudden run like like new (assuming new means smooth and strong)
I am in need of opinions, I do not have the ability to splurge on a $12000 repower. But I can afford either buy a rebuilt replacement or have mine rebuilt. I would prefer to spend as little as possible while making the right decision.
Should I purchase a remanufactured 175 - 200hp EFI 2 or 4 stroke motor from "OneOutboard.com"
OR Put a new powerhead on my existing carbed motor.
