Hello- I am considering a 1999 290 Sundancer that has bee repowered with the Mercury 4.5L (250 hp) engines. Does any have any feedback or experience with these engines. Thanks.
Purpose built marine engines lightweight with closed cooling - easier service points and more durable components (cast oil pan etc) much better than a marinized car/truck engine - on the downside, i believe they all have catalytic converters which may be expensive when it comes time to replace exhaust components?
