New Power

Hello, my name is Mike and I'm new here. I'm happy that I'm now a member of this forum. Now that I'm in, I'd like to ask a question. I have acquired a 1990, 33' Cooper Prowler that I use as a weekend getaway. My Sis calls it a dock potato as for the fact that She has only one of her two engines and that one doesn't run. The "stock" engines are two 7.4 mercruisers.

My question to the forum is.... do you think it's worth repowering/replacing the engines in this vessel? I think the rest of her is fairly sound and seaworthy. It is an expensive task and I just want to see what the group has to say.

I also have to add, I don't believe that I will ever recover the value of what I have already put into her plus the cost of installing the new power..... but thinking maybe I can get some years of pleasure out of her in my retirement years.

Thanks again for my opportunity to belong to the group.
