Backup sets of engines- How many people have them??
 

Question for the guys who are running big power in their boats that require yearly rebuilds...How many of you have a backup sets of engines? I can't afford to do it, but if I was running big power and money wasn't an object, it sure would make sense to have a set waiting and work a rotation. It could also be a plus when an unexpected problem happened during the boating season.

Just wondering if anyone is doing it this way??
