What do you guys think about Nikisil cylinders and what do you think is best when they blow up(I know new is best).Buying new is a little pricey.

What ^^^ said! I sent two cylinders for my 700 off to millenium. One had SERIOUS gouges in the nikisil. They came back looking like NEW for about half the cost. Send the cylinder with the piston and they will fit the two for you. Great service, quality work.

A lot of the hi performance outboard guys swear by having them replated.Thats the way I'd go.

By all means replate! I us US Crome in WI. Real quick service and great prices! If you have to replate might be time to big bore???

Thanks for the quick answers as always,I am going the replate route.I dropped the cylinders at a local shop that sends them out and was told one is fine,they were just going to clean it up a little and the other might be ok with some acid but if not its getting shipped off.
