I didn't winterize my boat this past winter and learned a hard lesson. The block froze and cracked in two places. Needless to say, it is a mistake I will never make again. I just had the motor rebuilt with a remanufactured engine from Mercruiser. I have decided to sell the boat and am wondering if I am compelled to tell the prospective buyer about the rebuilt engine. I have been advised by my buddies that I shouldn't mention it and that it could be looked as a negative selling point, but I look at it as a positive. My thinking is that it is a rebuilt motor with many new parts and 0 hours. What do you guys think? Would you consider a boat with a rebuilt engine and 0 hours as a negative or positive selling point? Also, do you think I am obligated to tell the buyer about the freeze block and rebuilt motor?
Thanks.
Thanks.
