Rebuild or Replace New?

[milagroman]

I would tend to go for the rebuild than new engine. Having owned a prout snowgoose, I would be more concerned with the sillette prop drive as they are no longer in production and parts will eventually not be available. The new engine will outlive the sillette.

I imagine there will be a huge difference in price and availability.

Actually it’s a joint venture with Perkins and Ishikawajima Shibaura Machinery not Kubota
