Ok so one thing lead to another last week and next thing I knew the motor is out of the boat, I removed the head and visually inspected the valves and cylinders everything looked ok to my untrained eye.
I dropped it off at a local marine machine shop for them to look over and let me know what they think, after having the motor for 5 days he tells me it needs to be torn all the way down and have the cylinders honed I ask how much it will cost he tells me lots and wont give me any estimate besides that he charges $100 an hour.
So the motor is back sitting in a garage and I am contemplating my next step as the sailing season is ticking by any thoughts are welcome or what I should be looking for to help make my decision.
