You nailed it pretty good there Shorty. I'm a bit surprized some of you guys with Pioneers didn't pick them up. $405 is a good price for a couple of engines advertised as being low time and in good shape. Of course any time you are buying sight unseen you take a chance on buying junk. One thing I don't like is not knowing the history of the engines. Being that the cranks have a habit of failing after a prop strike I wouldn't feel comfortable until the engines were torn down for inspection.
Looks like the high bidder "nummy96" also has a recently purchased early model twin engine Kolb.
