Glastron GS259

2007 Glastron GS 259SUMMARY: Boat engine has a fuel pressure supply issue, after investing over $8k in upgrades/repair, the issue has become frustrating, and I won't be investing any more to finalize the repair. Out drive is in excellent condition, all electronics work as they should, as do the trim-tabs. Dealer believes that refurbishing the fuel injectors to the engine would resolve mechanical issues.

The boat ran well for a month, and an oil pan leak was discovered. Something went wrong in re-installing the engine, and the boat has not run since. I have spent a significant amount of money attempting to have the engine repaired. I am not a mechanic, and have hired professional mechanics to do all of the work, I believe I have been taken advantage of by them, and I have had thousands of dollars worth of unnecessary parts installed. The stated condition of everything is as it was the last time that the boat was running, I can not warranty it, but I have good-faith reason to believe it's accurate. This is a beautiful boat that's fun to drive w/ a desirable color scheme and packed full of every factory feature there is. A mechanically savvy person could easily repair or repower the engine w/ refurbished parts. This year of Volvo Penta, Volvo marenized a GM block that's also found in 1996 Chevy suburbans. The injectors could be replaced or refurbished w/ auto injectors. I have not put any auto parts on the boat, but a savvy mechanic could easily do this, or find used parts. Injector refurbishment is only about $400, I'm told this would make the engine run. One mechanic says that the compression is fine, another says compression is slightly low on one cylinder. The boat value with a running engine is around $28k. Boat is located at Yankee Boat Yard in Portland CT. At the fork in the road as you approach the boat-yard, take a left, and the stern of the boat faces the street just before the first gate.
