8v92 Engine Replacement
Dave...I understand your concerns about the two strokes and ongoing maintenance. However you should expand your search activities to include the 1000's of marine applications for the DD 2 stroke engines...The used boat market has thousands of old, high quality and expensive boats that are still powered by the 2 strokes and the parts/ maintenance capabilities are still there and will be there until they start burning the 60 foot Hatteras's..Jim Barone..1991 WBWL..currently in Kuttawa, KY.

that time's a waisting as well. Factor that into your decision making. I don't know how much better a series 60 might be. But I wouldn't wait. Time is what we are all short of. You will never have the perfect coach, series 60 or not. If you can raise the 30K difference in relatively short time no problem. If you have to over extend or put off then I would buy less and get on with the fun stuff.Some of the other fellow who know the engines can speak to that. Just suggesting that its likely not very important in the total picture.
