    Advise sought on outboard upgrade

    5 more 30 day trips? thats a tough spot. re rigging is going to run you 10k in labour and parts. for a low cost fix id look for another HPDI. spending a bunch on an undesirable year (2006) 250 engine wouldn't be my solution. even if the exhaust kits were done, the block is still...

    Repower Options: Seafarer 228G

    Ive often thought about removing scuppers and plumbing deck drains into a shower sump box with a macerator pump. ive seen more then a few sunken boats where the low in the water scuppers caused it to back flow and sink.
