"I was out on the river and the engine started tapping. We were at about 4800 RPM. Within seconds I had pulled back and got the boat slowing down. By the time I got her stopped the lower part of the motor was knocking loud and running real ruff. When I looked at the engine there was extra water in the engine compartment. I took it over to a guy who was recommended to look at the boat. He thinks that the motor needs replaced. The motor had 210 Hours on it ans was always taken care of and winterized and stored inside for winter. Hell, the boat never saw rain. It was never hot even at the end of all of this. Before I take it to the dealer where should I start looking for a motor for this. I was told 2500 plus labor. I was also told that it has 190 HP and that I might find a good engine that has 210-220 hp that would be better? Mine is carburated and I like that idea better than fuel injection for maintenence. Let me know any suggestions and anything that you guys say will help. Thanks again, Rocco PS Is there an awesome place in Illinois that can handle all this from start to finish with no problems and a warrenty?"
