Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
They have been extremly reliable engines where maintained properly. Check around for pricing. Many sites with engines for sale. I don't even look anymore. Sticker Shock.
My first new motor was a 100 HP Mercury and cost less than $800 including tax.
