I have a 2000 Campion 602 and it’s decision time. Just recently she started losing power on my return from fishing. I took it in and it appears it has one cylinder with only 40 pounds compression. The current engine is a Mercruiser 4.3 and this is the third longblock from Mercruiser, professionally installed in the last 10 years.
So my options appear to be
1) have it rebuilt if it is rebuildable
2) look at a new crate engine if available and if it would even fit
3) look at a complete package including stern drive if necessary ( big bucks) and the stern drive is relatively new.
4) get a price to pod it and put on an outboard
5) sell it as is an look for another boat
6) give up boating
Looking for advice from anyone who has been through this. The guesstimate it $10 k to be assessed once the engine is opened up for rebuild, 25k for new package.
