Choosing Between New and Remanufactured Inboard Marine Engines

If you're repowering your boat, you’ve probably asked yourself:Should I buy a new inboard engine or go with a remanufactured one?At Eagle Engine Sales, we offer both—and each has clear advantages depending on your budget, boat model, and performance expectations.

What’s the Difference?

New Inboard Marine Engine: A factory-fresh engine built with brand-new components, zero hours, and full OEM warranty.

Remanufactured Inboard Marine Engine: An existing engine core that has been completely disassembled, rebuilt with new or reconditioned parts, and tested to OEM specifications.

Pros of Buying a New Inboard Engine

• ✅ Zero Usage – Everything from the pistons to the sensors is brand new

• ✅ Latest Technology – Includes the newest fuel systems, electronics, and emissions compliance

• ✅ OEM Warranty – Most new engines come with a 1- to 3-year factory warranty

• ✅ Maximum Life Expectancy – Ideal for boaters who plan to keep their vessel long-term

Why Choose a Remanufactured Inboard Engine?

• ✅ Lower Cost – Save up to 40–50% compared to a new engine

• ✅ OEM-Level Quality – Rebuilt using OEM or higher-grade components

• ✅ Tested for Performance – Compression, oil pressure, and run-tested

• ✅ Perfect Fit for Older Boats – Especially when factory-new versions are discontinued or hard to find
