1990 4207 with Cat 3208
$25k-$30k for engine replace is worst case I've been told. Just not up for it from a time and effort standpoint. Paid $60k for boat. Anyone interested in a "project" boat at $40k. Boat located near Nashville, TN on Old Hickory Lake.

Local dealer has a 1988 Wellcraft Portofino 43 that he may be willing to swap. One engine to be replaced ($7500); he has it lined up to be done in two weeks. I'd have $67,500 in that boat if I did it ($60k I paid for the 4207, plus the engine in the Portofino). Portofino maybe worth $50k, so short $17.5k. But I'd be in about the same hole if I put the $30k for a rebuilt engine into the 4207, that would maybe sell for $70k.g36 wrote:Source of the post It would be some work but you might pull both engines sell the good one whole and the other for parts and put in 2 gas engines using some of the money you just got. I know it wouldn't be optimal and some work,, but a thought.
Thanks for the idea, but that would definitely be tough. The boat does have a dedicated diesel tank for the gen, but I really was considering removing it, so would need to change the gen to gas as well.

Just curious... Did you ever find out what happened to the boat?
