I'm looking at a 22 year old boat that's in pretty great shape. Except, the current Volvo TAMD14P 200HP has about 2000 hours on it but has never been maintained and seems to be in very rough shape. No survey or oil analysis yet.
Any guesses as to what it might cost to rebuild?
Or, because it would then be an old Volvo rebuilt with all of the headaches and costs of finding parts when needed in the future, does it make sense to replace now with a new engine? Any cost guesstimates?
Work to be done in Maine. Boat will travel from Maine to Newfoundland, so the engine needs to be very reliable.
Thank you for your advice.
