Should I sell

[blazingboy]

Hey guys this is the first time I have ever posted on here. I just got my first boat it's a 1980 Venture 1550 with a Evinrude 85hp. I have taken it to the lake a couiple of times and the last time I lost compression on two cylinders. When i got home me and my granpa went into it there was water in the left side we changed the head gasket and water jacket put it back together and still had the left side had no fire replaced the p pack and still had water in plugs my grandpa said it was probably a cracked head ,but I thought if that one side wasen't firing could it have been condensation. I am considering selling it because I don't have the money for a new head so should I sell or not.

Re: Should I sell

if I were you, I would take it to the shop for<br />an estimate. find out what it REALLY needs to<br />run again, then decide. how much are you gonna get<br />for a busted motor anyways???

Well you see the thing is right now it is running great. We put in some stop leak and it seemed to help it.
