Is it worth it to have repaired?

[Dianne]

we are first time boaters and confused. <br />We have a 1986 starcraft 16' runabout I/O that apparently has some serious motor problems. The mechanic has told us that there is a bad wrist pin causing a bad noise and vibration in the motor. Also that the stern drive has been leaking and is full of water. the bill for this work is in the $2500 range and I guess we're trying to justify spending the money.<br /> thanks forany help. Dianne

Hi, Dianne.<br /><br />Yours is an engine question. You will get more and better responses on the Engines and Motors Forum.<br /><br />When you post there, give details on your engine. Some are worth fixing, some are not. Someone there should be able to help.
