    Thanks for the reply, I acquired this motor and boat through trade, it does need a piston replaced. Is this the motor sought after,is it worth fixing? I could not see any cylinder damage, just top of piston and head. I just got a triton tr21 x2, it needs a motor and wonder if it's worth the repair to put it on?

    worth fixing,sure it is, would NOT put that mtr on any heavy boat period, esp TR21X2, or the CHAMPION that it looks like its on, needs to be on lighter weight hulls,

    That would be very hard to estimate given the lack of data.
