Head Gasket or Hull

[opag07]

It's been about a year since I have decided to replace a head gasket and restore the hull of the 1986 boston whaler...i was really looking to start restoration and rebuilt in some way the 30hp johnson..and hull However i am undecided if i should just go head and replace it with an upper level 115hp used boat..and not go thru the hassel... what doya think. Maybe it be a good down payment?
thanks

I have the same motor and changing the head gasket is a piece of cake.
A blown motor would not be worth much as a trade anyway.

Thanks I might just go ahead and attempt to replace, since the compression is 30, and 15 psi.. the shop mechanic didn't won't the job because he said the bolts might strip if he tries..
I'll see possibly during my vacation.

Thanks again
