I can't find a straight answer to the apparently agree old question is the 485 a good engine or not. Some people swear their great others hate them with a passion all I've found is with new risers and an alternator added their fine but that doesn't account for the aluminum block with iron heads having different cooling rates and possibly warping. So as you can see I've done the research but haven't found a clear answer either way. I found a dirt cheap boat but it's powered by twin 485s. I'd rather pay more now though if they are that terrible to avoid them. thanks in advance for any input.
We're talking 3000 less for this boat than similar size and condition boats.
