G'day all, Been a while... a long while!
Might be getting my troubled boat fixed early next year, so hopeful it won't be too long and I'll be back on the water. Talking to a guy not too far away who did some work for a mate at works son, and he said from what he could see in the pics I sent him he could probably know it over in a weekend, but I explained I was thinking about raising the transom, so obviously more work and I'd like to change the hole where my cables go through for my outboard because it sits low and takes on water there on choppy days, especially when I am offshore.
I am looking at repowering as I'm not sure my old Mercury 125 Saltwater series will be any good she's been on the hoist now for nearly 2 years and when I was taking it off there are quite a few bolts rusted on the engine that I gather wouldn't be able to be unscrewed so thinking of making the move to a four stoke engine and tossing between the Mercury 115HP CT or a Yammy 115HP. I love the sounds of the Merc with the command thrust, but Yammies are just so loved and reliable worldwide so not sure which way I should go.
Any advice from those in the know or can speak for what they have would love to hear it.
Thanks
Geoff
