Repower

The process began with news that my motor required "extensive work" due to corrosion.  Then was told they needed to pull the motor and that I needed to consider a repower which I did not want to hear.  Then I came up with idea that I could just find a rebuilt 3JH2 and swap it in.  Found one at Schooner Bay in Bayfield.  Then leaned that crew Dallas knows them "intimately." Just before I was going to give them a deposit their shop burned down.  MYC suggested we proceed with plan to clean mine up but that was going to be 8k and "probably more" at which point I would still have a 30 year old engine with 4400hrs.  Then started conversations with Beta.  Beta 30 worked well in another Justine and they had one left so bought that day.
