    Is that a crack in the block between 4 and 6?? Or gasket residue? I'm seeing less carbon on #6....water intrusion washing away the lubricant in #6?

    Can you bring #6 up to top and take a close up with each piston 2 4 6 at the top of their stroke and with the cylinder down also? Thanks.

    Look for some left over Etecs or see what kind of deals you can get on a G2.

    Check out C & O. I'd look for an Etec, you can plug it right up to your boat as I understand.

    Check your local dealers Steve and see if they have any leftover G1's That way you can still get the 10 year warranty. Or go with the G2

    If I was to buy new.....It'd be the G2......The G1 is a good engine, but the G2 is a whole different animal....

    I know Redwing here in Houston is running good deals. Ask about the Houston Boat show special.
