If your thinking about repowering your gas boat DON'T even think about buying Crusader Engines. I purchased two brand new 270 hp 350 ci Crusaders last year and have had nothing but trouble. One has already been replaced this spring and now BOTH must be replaced. To make this as short as possible-- the pickup lines from the oil pump have fallen off of two of the engines. The second engine the was replaced this spring let go when the ignition module failed causing the engine to backfire at 3200 rpm causing it to hydrolock. Crusader wants to send me back rebuilds instead of new engines. These engines have 15 hrs. and 100 hrs respectfully. If your as crazy as I was and decide to buy from Crusader, read the fine print!!! Their warranty is a joke!!!
