Hi, new boater here (soon to be). We've been looking for our first boat in the stamps area and decided on a 240 Sundancer. Granted, I am a novice of boats, but am a good analyst.
While combing thru the countless ads, I've seen people advertise "new engine" or "rebuilt engine" with 10 hours listed. When I look at pics of the engine, they're definitely not *new*.
When is an engine considered new, and when is an engine not considered new? Can they be advertised as such? Why can people magically reset the odometer?
I just want to know what I'm getting myself into.
Thanks in advance...
