I have a deposit on an SRV 190 in right now. I won't be able to go see it until next week. I thought it had a 170hp I6 Merc, but it turns out that it was repowered at some point with a 3.7L 165hp 4cly Merc wit an Alpha one. I have read a lot of bad things about these motors. The dealer tells me that they put a lot of work into the motor and the sales guy thinks it was rebuilt, but he will give me the details as to exactly what was done tomorrow. The price is great, but I don't want a boat that is isn't going to be reliable on Lake Erie with the family. What would you do? Repower? Rebuld (if it hasn't been) or walk away? The price is only $1600 so I don't mind putting some money into it, but I can't help wonder ...
