Need To Order Waterpump Repair Kit

[Boss Hawg]

I need to rebuild my waterpump on my 1981 Johnson 115 -
My one local dealer wants $70 + tax WO houseing
I see iboats has a couple different brands with housings for less
Question is which brand is best? (I have'nt took it apart yet so not sure if i need houseing but i figure better safe than sorry)
This will be my first WP job so i want to do it all & do it right :redface:
So many options-So little knowledge
BTW- I'm doing the motor for the wife & my first pontoon that we've been wanting forever so i want to do it right - I'm laboring like a DAWGD redoing the "interior" :redface:
As allways thanks for the great help

I never skimp on a water pump. OEM or nothing for me.
My 2 cents.
