Al C. 1,428 #1 Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) I have an opportunity to pick up a 520-HC with a "rebuilt Onan" and 1200 hours. Cosmetically it looks used, but nothing that some paint and decals can't fix. I have not had a chance to look at it in person. I've never had a 520 nor an Onan engine. At $500, is this a fair risk? I have no problem investing an additional $500 to bring it up to spec. Edited July 24, 2017 by Al C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoman1966 3,823 #3 Posted July 24, 2017 Look at it thi9s way: It isn't putting money 'at risk'. It is making an investment. Blowing $500 at Disney in a day or two is 'at risk'. $500 for a 520-HC will get you a whole lot more fun, for a much longer time..... just sayin' 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
