- No Engines But looking at an Outboard Conversion
As some of you may have read I bought a 1992 Sea Ray Sundancer 290 for £5000 with both V6 engines removed because they were Kaput. Rest of the boat is in tip top condition and the previous owner spent alot of time on the interior accommodation.
I have recently seen a few Sea Ray Sundancer 290 1991-1993 were fitted with single 7.4l Mercruiser engines producing 300hp which I didn't realise was an option anf diven the boat has one surviving stern drive leg I now have 3 options
My 3 Options for re-powering are:
1) Source 2 Inboards and Stern drive Legs and Re-Install - Approx Cost £15,000 and pretty much financially out of the question
2) Professional Aesthetically Pleasing would look the muts nuts Twin Outboard Conversion £3500 plus a pair of Outboards Approx £4000
3) Fiberglass Up Both Stern Drive Exits, Convert To Single Engine Mount and Install Single 300HP Engine with the single surviving stern drive that came with the boat Approx Cost of Engine £5000 plus fiber glass work
Thoughts!!!
