Hi All-
I would love some feedback and/or boater therapy...thanks in advance!
Situation-
Have a 1996 Pursuit 3100...I have owned the boat for 17 years.
I purchased the boat with a Kohler 7E 6k genset.
I never used the genset and over the years it was more of a zinc for my boat.
Last fall I pulled it and had it reviewed by some honest professionals.
I was quoted 2k to fix and ended up spending 2.2k.
The genset is currently "renewed" almost to new.
Decision-install genset or sell it?
Installing genset involves a good amount of work and costs...400 range.
After install my access to rear under deck systems is reduced by a huge amount.
My large fish box has a major slice removed just so the genset will fit.
I will need to run the genset monthly under load, maintain fuel/water systems.
I am not sure when I am selling the boat so near term additional value for genset maybe minimized (1-2k)
What do I do? Sell or install?
Why do I do it? Additional value/rare use case need/common sense?
