- (2) mercruiser 170/460 engines w/alpha one outdrives
I'm looking for help to make a decision on buying a new to me boat. 1979 SRV 260 Sundancer with 2 Mercruiser 170/460 engines with Alpha 1 outdrives. $1,000.
The boat seems like it's in good condition. The hull is good and the interior looks good. No signs of rot.
The Mercruiser engines are currently out of the boat being rebuilt. And the outdrives need to be serviced.
The problem. To get the newly rebuilt engines out of the shop it's going to cost me $1,300 and I still have to pay a mechanic to install them.
The outdrives need to be serviced and u would have to pay for these too.
When the engines and outdrives are done and installed it should be a sound boat. I would still have to buy batteries.
I'm only thinking mechanical at this point. Should I run? Or should I stay for the long haul?
