This boat had all the same lines to a tee engine boxe...

Can someone explain to me what remanufactured engines are other than the obvious. Do they have warrentee, is the price that much different from the new and who do you get them from a Cummins dealer. Is Cummins the only company that does this, does Yanmar?

The more fuel cost increases the closer I get to a diesel conversion.Right now it's almost double the cost to own a gasser. with 50 % more range from a diesel( 225mi / 230 gal tank gas as opposed to 350mi/230 gal tank)..This becomes simple math if one wants to continue full use of your boat without ...
