I was looking over Powerboat Mag and there's an ad for a marine motor package...... The "Attack Dog ll" 725HP with a Merlin block with one year warranty for $9,750.00. It isn't a complete package, but more than a long block.


Here's the link to their website......

Do a search on runsnew, a few members here have some of their engines.

More investigation is needed! Hi Buddy, well the new news is that Amy broke up with me the other day. Back to Square one again.

Stick with your original plan. It made sense and you could afford it. Boat will be awesome.
