So I've read all the negative talk about the Mercruiser 470 and you all have about scared me off from buying a restored 1978 Sea Ray Cabin Cruiser that has 2 new (remanufactured from Mercriser) engines. Does this change any opinions on the engine. I really like the boat but the engine thing is scaring me a little, or maybe a lot. Does a rebuilt engine have any of the "issues" fixed that have been a problem for this engine? I've heard that replacing the alternator and moving up to a 4" heat exchanger should be done. Anyone have a link to where I can get a cost and buy these?
Thanks,
John
