Hi Scott-

Thanks for the offer. I did rebuild the engine (2HSP) in Turkey 7 years ago, which is why she is running well. There are a number of lesser things to be done to bring her up to snuff but fundamentally she is in good shape. The only real problems at the moment are that a new alternator and new fuel pump are needed. But ultimately the engine is simply too small, not to mention noisy. Although the grease going to the hub seems to return up the stern tube rather than end up in the water, I'm not sure I want to have that discussion with the Coast Guard. I could drag this out a few years but if I intend to replace her then the sooner done the more I get to enjoy it. Money spent repairing this engine would, for me, be better spent on a new one.

Perhaps between the two of us we could sell these engines to someone who wants to put one in a classic. I certainly don't want much money for it. I also have a spare set of 18" propeller blades.

Thanks again,

Greg
