I have a 1979 atomic 4 for sale that is in very good condition. I puchased this engine that had come out of a 1960 era sailboat thinking that I would part it out, but after some research I discovered that the engine was much newer then I was led to believe. I have taken the engine apart and have documented parts with pictures and measurements. Everything measured was within tolerance and looked good. I feel that this is a low hour repower.

I am a ABYC certified technician and for my day job I sail as Chief Engineer on an ocean going container ship. I enjoy rebuilding engines and have always wanted to dance with an A4. This would be a great replacement for an older engine at a much lower price then a total rebuild.

The engine is located in Easton, MD and is listed on the Annapolis Craigs List. I would like to get around $1,500

Are you asking $1,500 for the engine after it's rebuilt, or in pieces? I'm not sure from your post.
