Sorry Ed, this seems to have gone from bad to worse. At this point, I personally wouldn’t mess with a rebuild unless there was a significant price difference - 5k or so which probably isn’t going to happen. Yard bills are the same either way. I’d vote for whatever gets you back in the water the quickest unless the season is already lost. Have you spoken to Mack Boring (Yanmar) in Union NJ? The beta sounds tempting, particularly if they have one that can be shipped quickly but I have no first-hand knowledge of them. This one is tough, you don’t want to jump on an engine just to salvage a portion of the season… but you do want to salvage the season. Enormously helpful is a good sign.
