Repower help...please

[wire knot]

I'm in the process of ""TRYING"" to get quotes on a NEW powerplant for my
Mako I/O. What the hell is going on? I,ve had to re-call dealers to get a price.
Seems I'm not being taken seriously?

I'm prepared to spend the bucks, but I guess it's freaking everyone out.
Had, "one of the souths largest dealers,with over 250 boats in stock" tell me to find a
insurance totaled boat, and, the motor makers deal with boat manufacterers and we cant even get single motors...??? While their website shows A BUNCH of single motors with a request for quote form on each page?????

I DONT WANT USED, but I do have a rebuilt longblock that I believe in...some.
Would someone help me with part nos. etc, that I need to install NEW outdrive/transom/
trim pump/ bell housing/coup, etc.

The motor is a 350 chev 2 piece seal I had coupled to a OMC stringer, I gave up on.

I know I'm asking for alot of help but I have seen you guys help"ALOT".

If ya'll like I will post project pics. I have already pulled the tank and coal tar epoxied, and filled in the old transom cutout.

Sorry for the long post

Thanks
WK

If i was in the market for a new powerplant like yours I would go visit your local chevy dealer and get a new GM crate engine and the "marinize" it. Of course that is if your boat is not beyond economical repair."
