Now that's a whole different story.

May be a good deal. The cowling is another bargaining chip to an extent. A new cowling is expensive. If I may ask, why is the price range 15 to 20 k ? I would expect the yard to set a price and bargain from there. In any event, if you are really interested, you might want to act quickly. Motors...

One more comment. How much of a loss could you take without being financially seriously hurt. Lets say the motors are going for 15k and now are being sold as salvage. You tell the seller that you want to get a mechanical inspection but if you can't, you are willing to take a chance for let's say...

Maybe but not being able to start them is an issue. At a minimum you should have a mechanic take a look under the cowling, check the fluids for contamination and whatever other tests can be done. Are the engines still on the Marlin or perhaps on motor stands. If either, a mechanic can do a lot...

If yu topped of the tank and then covered it tightly, the sun will heat things up and the gas will expand. If the vent is in the filler cap of the vent is covered by the boat cover, fumes will get trapped under the cover. It is also quite likely that your tank hoses are a bit permeable in that...

Sounds to me like a bad switch

Why are the scuppers below the waterline "occasionally"? That may be an issue that will continue to be of concern with a new motor. How satisfied are you with the current engine performance? I have no hands on with Tohatsu 140 so I can't comment other than it is a fairly light motor that weighs...

There seems to be an existing repair job. What was that about? Just to clarify; You bought this boat new, correct? Normally the first action is to contact the dealer and see what response you get.

I am not 100% sure if the following steps will work but I would try it. Assuming you have a 120v receptacle in the boat, get yourself a 110v plug in circuit tester. I have the small yellow one with 4 indicator lamps on it. They are available at Home Depot and similar stores and are something...

This is a used boat it seems. I don't think the OP wants to know what options to have but rather what is the market price for 2020 model with X hours and certain options. For example, OP states boat has digital shift and control .That would have bumped the original new price by about $7000.

Generally it is not advisable to spry fogging oil into a runnimg fuel injected motor. It can cause contamination and clogging of the injectors. I like others, remove the plugs, spray oil into all the cylinders and then rotate the motor by hand using the flywheel, 1 1/2 turns for a two stroke and...

There is no 'expected' normal discount. A year ago boats were selling for more than the asking price and new ones more than the list (not dealer, list!). So your price may be a reasonable deal in this market. I suggest you price a new model or a 22 leftover at a different Grady dealer to get a...

These were 2021 approx dealer prices for options Digital throttle and shift? (DES motors) about 7K over mechanical Electronics? can be a lot:) Canvas including aft drop curtain? Should be standard Power steering? about $3000 Shore power with isolator and charger? $2000 Electric head with pumpout...

I laughed because that is something I would probably have done. I also have 4 indoor/outdoor thermometers in my house. Once an engineer, always an engineer.

Oil smoke is usually not white. Rich fuel smoke is black and 'steam' is white. The white smoke may be condensation and evaporation or excess water in the exhaust gasses. Often the steam occurs with a colder motor, similar to a dripping car exhaust pipe. On some motor designs exhaust is...

And you actually weighed it? LOL

Depending on the screen size, they don't consume a ton of power. If you have a stereo, it probably uses more power than your MFD

I should also mention that if stored where the temos may go below freezing, the motors should be tilted down

No, there is no reason if when down the lower parts are not in the water If down, one may foget that if they drive forward or diagonally over the lift bunks, low engines may not clear. If up, it may help remember when lowering that one may need to be careful.

That was a much better explanation:) Remember that the aft end of the boat will extend farther due to the motors. If stored with the motors tilted up that will add several feet to the overall length of the vessel.
