    Ranger 12' cracks?

    Looking at the crack without context is meaningless. Step back 15 feet and take the pick with the whole hull. The issue is the ranger is a low-end fiberglass bass boat with a design life of 15 years. So depending on how the boat was treated, could be signs of other structural issues.

    Sadly a lot of motors will suddenly be for sale.

    Rather buy a flooded marine motor that was properly addressed than a neglected and unknown motor

    36 tournament / Cummins 555 VT

    Is the 555 in good shape? After 52 years, most likely the prop on the boat is correct and either the boat is waterlogged or the motor is tired

    4.3/190 hp Chevy Vortec engine with Volvo drive on Glastron GX185 boat

    With proper maintenance and usage the motor will last between 5000 and 10,000 hours. However a 20 year old motor with less than 1000 hours sat a lot. Sitting is NOT good. Reality is boat motors hardly ever wear out. They are usually murdered by lack of maintenance
