Complete powerhead -

Above motor may have salt rot in it. I suppose you could ask the guy to pull off the exhaust chest cover and send pictures...

Or, here is a very pretty bare block. You might want pictures of the cylinders..

That powerhead looks a little rough, especially coming from Florida. Mine was like new on the outside.

I found a new Yamaha case for just over 1000. I seen the China version. Much cheaper but I worry about the quality. The machining tolerances and also the metal quality.

Thanks

Hummm I never thought of that. I'm trying to salvage the summer and I could worry about building a new power head over the winter.

Thanks for the idea!!
