I know I'm about to open a can of worms but the vast knowledge here could be very useful. We looked a Marine Trader that fits almost all our wants and must haves but the main issue is that 1 engine has starter issues and possibly numerous oils leaks, We cannot tell for sure on the oil leaks as the starter is inoperable to determine the origin. Now here's the can of worms; does anyone have a ballpark figure as to what a replacement might cost, or the cost of rebuilding? I have read that parts are very expensive if they can be found in remote locations, outside large urban areas.
The price of the boat makes this issue doable if we can get a generalized cost for either.
BTW its a 1986.
