Repowering
Oftentimes, half of the value of your boat is in the engines. Boat hulls
generally last longer than their engines and after 7-9 years it’s often
a practical choice to repower your boat with a new trouble-free and
fuel-efficient power plant.
Here are a few things to consider when making the repower choice:
Today’s new diesel and direct injection engines are much cleaner and more fuel
efficient than their predecessors.
30% less fuel consumption can mean $875/year in fuel savings for a typical
500 gallon boating season.
Gas or Diesel? New fuel-injected gasoline boat engines are basically truck and
SUV engines, marinized for marine use.
If switching from gas to diesel, keep in mind that you may be additional
costs involved with replacing fuel handling, shafts,
struts,
and propellers in addition to the engine.
Here are some pictures from our repowering projects.
