Don't waste your money rebuilding anything even with a warranty. Check local marinas who sell new underpowered boats and take low engine hour trade-in's. You'll still get what you're looking for at a reduced cost and most still have some warranty left on the engine. You'll love the newer engine fuel economy and the quietness of a four stroke. If your time on the water is cruising around all day and you need to get there quickly go for a 90hp but if you don't care about getting there so quick the F70 is awesome and you will be amazed at the fuel consumption.
