1996 ProMax

I apologize for reposting, but I could not figure out how to edit the original post from last September. At that time, the pictures could have been better and I intended to post better ones, which I am doing now. Following is the text from the original post. This engine has not been cranked since it was last built. It has a low time EFI box that was brought up to new specs and the rev limiter raised to 7250 by CDI, the injectors are low time since flowed and balanced, there is a new stator and switch boxes. Other info listed below.

For a serious buyer, I will put this motor on my Vegas XT, break it in, and demonstrate if one wishes.

More info from original post follows:

1996 ProMax with 0 time since rebuild. This motor was rebuilt 4 years ago and I have been keeping it for a spare, but have decided to sell it. Built with a factory new ProMax block. I had it on a Hydrostream Vegas XT and shortly after break-in, the driveshaft on the lower unit snapped. A few hours after this, the motor lost power and I knew it was not right. My guess is when the driveshaft broke, the engine probably over-revved. Motor was torn down and in addition to damage to some rod bearings and crankshaft, a small chip out of the casting inside the crankcase was discovered. The block was sent to Nichols Outboard Engineering where Dale filled it in with epoxy and pronounced it OK. I doubt the motor had 50 hours on it when this happened. The bore was checked and it was perfect. There was no wear. The engine was built again using another crankshaft and rods from another motor. New metal caged bearings were used and Vertex pistons. The injectors were sent to Rich at Brucatto for cleaning and flowing, new switch boxes and stator were installed. It has head studs. It does not have top pinned pistons.

While it was being built, I purchased a 260 and have run it on the boat since and the ProMax has not been run. The lower unit that was on the 260 was a CLE and sent to Jason Wolf and coned. The gears in this unit seem to be very low time. The lower unit has not been run since it was coned. It comes with this ProMax.

Asking price is $7200.

I spoke to seller (extremely nice guy) about this motor a few months back, I went with a closer option to home. This sounds like a beauty of a motor.
