Well, my Chaparral with a 3.0 mercruiser got burned. It seemed useless after the fire, but some guy tells me that the fiber can be repaired (will not look so nice any more). I trust this because this guys work really well with fiberglass. The engine is another thing. They tell me that it can work, that I would have to re-do all the electrical wiring, etc. but the engine they say it's good. All the sterndrive (?) (well, the part that goes in the water with the propeller, here we call it the "leg") is in perfect condition. The question: do you think it's worth it to try to repair the engine ? do you think it will end up ok. ? The fire was put out in about 10 minutes, so I think the engine didn't suffer too much heat...Please, I will apreciate your advice...Thanks a lot.
