Here's the story... 2nd season of power boating, and I love it, even the family likes it (tough to do w/ 2 teenage daughters)! Mid last season bought a 88 4Winns 160 OMC 3L , nice shape, mantained by the same inland marina I bought it from got it for what seems like a good deal $3K. I have also followed all the rec. maint. BUT... have the boat on the lake for a week of vaca, and start to see all sorts of problems. <br /> 1st ! a 2" crack in the block, external no water in oil (JB weld saved Vaca) holding so far. Get it home water in the outdrive, no obvious leaks, and just to top it off the seal at the oil drain tube is leaking! The upside... the boat appeers to be in good shape, runs well.<br />So I need sage advise... do I put serious $ it to it (new motor) and fix the other stuff , or cut my losses and save for somthing newer. I don't mind keeping up with all ness. maint., but I want to enjoy the boat not just fix it !! Is this what I should except from an I/O new or old or is this just an age thing or would an O/B be a better choice ? <br /> Thanks for any advise. Gary
