spare lehman

Hello Gents,

What would a spare lehman 120 be worth?* A local marina repowered their launch and they have the lehman 120 available.**

Would it be worth it to buy it for parts?

Thanks,

Tom*

Mostly it depends on weather YOU will be replacing parts on your boat , or a hired wrench will be doing the work.

Many wrench turners will not guarentee any work with used parts.

To me (I do my own work) $500 might be worth it as insurance.

If I has an ancient 120 , and this was identical, I would tear the head off and have it rebuilt as well as as many parts that will swop out.

I would pickle them and carry them on board as spairs.

However ,

If I were going offshore I would install them and have the existing parts rebuilt and use them , as my spairs.

I would save the remains ,the basic block, for a good rebuilding should that become necessary.

RE: spare lehman

I once*bought 2 spare Perkins T6.354 engines. Sold one immediately and tripled my investment. Carried the other for 7 years, used one part off of it, then parted it out and made lots of $$.

If you have storage room and can get it for the $500 FF suggests, go for it.

RE: spare lehman

"Bore Block"

Fine, if it includes line boring the crank and camshaft too.

"Grind and Polish Crank"

STRAIGHTEN , then grind and polish crank as needed.

But at 2-3 gph not much of a rebuild is required.

Me ,
I would take it to a "speed shop" machinist and tell them the operating and usual running RPM and have the reciprocating parts balanced .

Not many bucks , and with a good exhaust you might be hard pressed to tell when the engine is on.
