ok, so this isnt my car, and before you go, well ****, never mind. I would like some opinions.

I bought a boat,17' sea ray with a 90 hp outboard johnson, from a ex friends stepdad like 3 years ago, maybe 4 by now. The dasy i got it it ran, but a few days later it stoped runnign right. he said he would help fix it, but wouldnt give back the money. So im screwed, I have been putting it off forever. and now it need to fix it.

So.. I have been searching around and i can buy a power head from some shady dealer on the net for $1700 or have this very well know an good shop i just took it to, fix it for $2250. My delema is, that, I spent $3500 for the boat have prolly already put $400 into it, now another $2250, an the boat prolly still wouldnt be worth much more then 4k if im lucky. But if i dont fix it an sell it, im prolly looking at 1.5k. I really want a boat. but it just seems eaither way im still some what screwed.

I live on the water in annapolis , an crew up oin boats an all, and now my faimly dosnt have a boat, becuase my brothers is being finished my dads just blew his engine and the 2 sail boats have rip'ed sails. but i still have two little skiffs

What would you do, sell an cut the losses an prolly blow the money one somthing else. just say f uck it and fix it and be done with it.. or what. Thanks for any replys

Grab you ankles, and fix it.

You'll be able to enjoy it, and the money into the repair will raise the value if you decide to sell it some day.

Its what I would do. Its your call though.
