i know this is the wrong place to post this but i figured you would be the honest ones! i have a freind that has a 22' stoker tunnel. 89 needs interior and detail.. has 300 evinrude. the transom is in need of repair from the weight and he is not a big fan of the outboard... motor runs great but probalby could use servicing. he is thinking about putting a bbc in place... (has the motor and rigging needs drive) the hull repair and the conversion labor are the same... i think it is worth it to fix and sell... not convert. his long term concern is the outlawing of the 2 strokes at certain places and the poor fuel economy of the 300.... opinions??? also what is the outboard worth if he goes trough with it! has 3 spare props as well. i will find out hours etc.
