I am considering buying a boat (1998 Hatteras SF) that the broker tells me is in need of both engines rebuilt. Says it down on power and smokes like crazy (black smoke) at 1500 rpm.
The motors only have 700 hr on them and been on the great lakes all the time. And are rated over 600hp
He claims that because these engines are so high in HP they have a short life.
Could this be true?
Might there be something less wrong than a major overhaul needed
If needed, could they be rebuilt with less HP and extend the life span
thanks
Tom
