Hi All
i have a searay 180 bow rider with the above engine on it.
The block is seized due to oil starvation. Please don’t ask, I could shoot myself.
Anyway I have a few options. Used engine, roughly $4k, block rebuild which would be $4k in labour alone, I am in Australia. Or I have come across a 2003 Saltwater series engine that was fire damaged but the block is apparently fine.
I would have liked to repower with a similar 2 stroke but EFI. But if I can get the block for a good price I am just looking at labour to swap the block.
All input welcome. Experiences and thoughts.
Cheers
Rob
