If you don't mind me asking, why hasn't his boat run since? He just didn't bother paying for that expensive ECU? Or no one could get it running again?
I've been tossing and turning in bed at night trying to decide whether to just shell out the bucks and get twin 40s or 50s, or just fix this motor. I was pretty tempted to get Enduro 40 Yamahas yesterday. Only $8000 for a pair but they suck a lot of gas. Twice what my ETEC would burn. Twin 4 stokes would cost twice that and they aren't flawless. Seems a lot of people have problems with them here because of dirty gas. ??
Well, I have to get it running at least so I can sell it. We'll see.
I think the ignition box for his motor was about $1000 installed (he's a captain so he knows people in the marina) He doesn't use his boat much because he can "wet test" the 68' hatteras he captains several times a week depending on whats going on with it. It has sat ever since because he doesn't see the need to fix it because his boat wouldn't get used that much anyway.... 68' hatteras vs. 17' Dusky, you decide haha.
