Still a ways off but is there a source to find used diesels for sale. Looking for a 300-450 HP depending on the hull I buy.

I know of a place where you can get 410 hp in a tight compact package
What color engine would you like?

 

[ackshark11]

Used, meaning cheap, under 10k

 

[F/V First Team]

I can ask around, any particular flavor you're looking for? (cat, detroit, yanmar, etc)

 

[ackshark11]

Cat, Yanmar, anything reliable major brand...I know there around just wondering if theres a source I don't know about that advertises them.

Good deal, thanks

first team, do you guys deal with used rebuilt engines or just through boats and harbors, ill be looking for one is a while, im thinking a 265 deere

SisuDiesels only as far as reconditioned
I can sell you any new engine you would like

I would be very careful of the rebuilds you see in Boats and Harbors. I read some real horror stories when I had my subscription to Boatdiesel.com.(a good source to compare engines and read about issues and fixes) I am sure there are dealers with good reputations too. Cheap usually means rebuild and the definition of rebuild varies depending on who rebuilt it. Having said all of this I would spend the extra money and buy a factory reconditioned engine because you know every part was checked to factory standards and is either new or a rebuilt part.

I've seen some "rebuilt" engines in my day where "rebuilt" meant a can of spraypaint
