I'm looking at buying a boat that has a seized engine. If it can be repaired, where can I get good advice on what is required or how to do it?

I will make it unanimous by the time you take out the motor tear it down and you will totally disassemble the engine. Then you repair all the damaged parts the reassemble the engine you will be deep in the hole. The new or a working used one would be light years simpler and cheaper. So go find yourself another motor. If you insist on repair take it to your nearest boatyard or engine man for a idea of the cost and bring some oxygen for when you faint.

Dont buy the boat if you'r not going to replace the engines with some working ones... It will cost more to fix it and give you a headache later on. Nothing beats a new engine... especially on the water.

The boat and engine are designed to be in water, clean or salt. Granted you've some greater manitenance for the salt water including washing the boat after use, wipe down the engine as quickly as in awhile. you need to backside paint the boat and outdrive, shop it tilted up if its an outboard on a similar time as on the mooring. on the tip of the season haul it out, sparkling the hull of boost and sparkling and wax each thing. Spray snaps with silicone and formerly storing the boat flush the engine with clean water, spray it down with silicone and winterize as mandatory. take excitement in.

I just got to agree with cowboy bill...anything can be fixed...but if the boat was submerged...I'd think there is more wrong than just the engine...hole in boat?

replace the engine, salt water tears up the machined internals and if its sits long enough it will pit the cylinder walls and then its a very heavy anchor

Anything can be 'fixed', but you will save thousands of dollars buy simply using this one as an anchor and purchasing a replacement.
