We just bought a 1981 Wellcraft Family boat with a Mercruiser 470 in & out board motor (170hp). We just found out from our mechanic that the inboard motor is blown
So now we are on the hunt for a motor to put in our boat so we can take our family out on the lake(as we promised our children when we bought this blown boat) We are hopeful that someone out there can tell us if the Mercruiser 470 is the only inboard motor that we can put in its place.
We have been told that to rebuild ours would cost a couple grand and we are not ready for that. If our options are more than just the Mercruiser, we have more of a chance in getting it fixed sooner rather than later. (And just an FYI, the outboard seems to be in great condition.) Please help! Thank you SO much!
