[procraft]

Sorry for the bad news procraft. This is definitely the first time I have ever heard of a blown motor having full power. If the block is bored you will have more cubic inches so you should have more power than before.

Only $1,800.00, try $6,589.84 plus tax.emoMad That is what mine is going to be to have it fixed. We play in a rich man's sport when you start having these big bass boats and they have problems.emoSorry Jmax

It won't give it more power. They might bore it and put a sleeve in it. Unless they are boring all six cylinders. Is that what they are doing?

Like Jmax said, you're getting off easy if it's only costing $1800.00 to get you back on the water.

Sorry to hearthat procraft. If it was going to cost $6,000 to get mine fixed I would have to find a small jon boat. I had to buy a $170.00 sterring cable, that was bad enough. I have a 1984 Cheeta with a Yamaha 115, I guess this is about as nice as I am ever gonna get. But I started out in K-Mart raft about 25 years ago, so I have came a long way.

Shoot man, you're fishing and that is the important thing!

That is one of the most expensive rebuilds I've ever heard of and I rebuild outboard engines for a living...you might want to get a second opinion.
