"I've got a co-worker that selling his 1989 WellCraft with a Mercruiser 3.7 and alpha-1 drive ($4,000.00).
He is the original owner and known for taking Excellent care of all his toys. The fact that it was his boat got me interested!
He told me that he had to replace the rectifier ~ 2years ago and it cost about $1000.
I was all excited about this boat until I've spent the last 2 hours reading about how the 470 was a disaster/mistake design that mercury eventually bailed on.
Is this engine really a disater?
I'm going to test drive...is there specifics that I should look for?
I'm REALLY interested in this boat, because of the owners rep/history/honesty....but am I buying a headache?
anyhelp??"
