Replacing 2 stroke with 4 stroke COST ???
Ok, so after countless unreliable trips out on our 21ft proline with a 97 oceanrunner, we decided its time to replace it with a used 4 stroke. We just got done repainting the boat and thought now would be a good time to consider doing it.
The ocean runner has good compression on all cylinders and sparks great, sometimes just wont rev past 2000k rpm. Other times would run like a baby. Dont want to spend the extra $$$ fixing it even if its minor.
So how much is the engine worth? Im ball parking roughly $3000 for the running engine.
Ive seen some used 2005 Verado 250s go for $7000 as well as yamaha 250s same price.
How much would it cost to uninstall the oceanrunner with controls and install the 4 stroke assuming it comes with all controls?
Thanks for all feedback!

Nothing worse than having an engine you dont have confidence in. I had the exact same problem many years ago and nobody, even multiple dealers could figure it out. However, I got lucky. Some dumb SOB stole mine off the back of the boat....
I guess the question for you is, would you feel good selling that motor to someone knowing there are issues? Trading it to a dealer would be the way to go in my opinion.
