Re: Considering going to the dark side...
bunker's SS is one of the nicest looking Starcrafts I've seen (I'd love to swap my boat's interior into his exterior). bunker, a brand new motor of appropriate horsepower for your boat would be in the $9k range. When looked at from one perspective, yes it could seem kinda silly to put a $9k motor on essentially a $900 boat. However, from another perspective, your boat is beautiful, trailer freshly redone, and an equivalent new rig would be approaching $30k. A $9k repower doesn't seen like such an unwise investment. And this is of course going all the way to the brand spanking new extreme. There lots of fully supported reliable newer motor options between a $1000 1973 Johnson 85 V4 and a $9k E-tec 90 I wonder how much a 5-8 year old Yamaha 4-stroke would be?
