Hi guys
I am thinking of changing from the outboard which is fitted to my boat now to a Mercruiser1.7L DTI which is also available as an option on the same boat as new. I have got in built fuel tank already and my question is "is it worth it?" - i am assuming that the replacement engine will cost me in the area of 8K plus fitting.
As usual your ideas and suggestions are welcome.
if i go down this road could anyone point me in the direction of someone in Essex that could do the work.
Thanks
Bob

Very doubtful...

Very doubtful whether that would be cost-effective, Bob. At the end of the day, would the boat's value increase in line with the cost of converting? Probably be a lot cheaper and easier just to sell it and get a different one.
