I just bought the outdrive from a guy who had a 2015 boat that had a cabin fire. It was coupled to a 5.7mpi with 74 hours on it. Check it out on eBay. His name is Pat Kessler out of WV. Listed for $3500 but he said he'd sell it to me for $2500 and include a bunch of other stuff. His number is 304-719-2657. Honest guy to work with.

Thanks, I believe that is too new? I need a 1986-96 pre vortec. That's the drop in I'm looking for tho!

Have you checked Craigslist ? I see one, 87, in Union Springs for a grand and there is one listed in Buffalo that appears to be a bit more high performance , is carbed, can't tell what year it is asking 2500. Other than that or rebuilding what you have another option is to find a crapped out hull with a decent engine. Although some times they go hand in hand, boat not maintained, engine not maintained.

Yes, saw both those! I've always said that if this Motor came out I would do the Stringers, Transom, and the Bulk Head! That's between $6-8k, then a motor for $3-4K! Is that worth $9-12k? It would be all new but.....

I have a 91 Penn Yan 245 Hardtop, I'm looking at Penn Yan Boats now, maybe I can get something cheaper than fixing mine?

If I had all those issues with my boat I would be looking for a different brand. Seems somewhat common with Penn Yan and a few other boat companies out there.

Penn Yan, Baja, Thompson all have those issues! Great boats, just old

"Great boats", just poorly built , nothing to do with age, enough said.
