The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
am buying a 2007 searey with a new 2010 3.0L only 5 hours on it the original engine one of the piston burn check the pic. owner drop in a new one and has warranty until 2014 still the pic. of the first engine has me scare
My 3.0L runs excellent. If every 3.0L engine started to fail within 3-4 seasons of run time, I don't think they'd manufacture them anymore.
One thing I wonder..was the engine replaced under warranty?

And FWIW, I specifically chose the 3.0L for our application because of its stellar record (we have a 2002 flavor). Zero issues...runs like a top and is way more than enough power for our 18 footer.
I really like that I can run the boat all day long at 2500 rpms...make good time across the lake and still be able to carry on a conversation in the boat. All the while burning next to nothing for gas.
Working on them is SO easy as you can almost get down next to the motor. Great design on the newer version for easy maintenance.
That being said...I would demand to see that the repair was done by a reputable mechanic. Even then...I would probably stay away. Too many good clean boats with no motor issues on the cheap.
