My application for idiot of the year award...
So I rolled the dice this winter and lost. Yep, cracked engine block. Boat is at the shop and I'm getting options on replacement motors. Marine shops around me are limited but wanted see if these options sound right. Boat is a 2005 Outback. All numbers are ballpark but out the door prices.
Option 1...brand new motor, about $15‐16k
Option 2...replace with long block, about $8500 + any other parts that need to be replaced to make it fit
Option 3..."good" used motor, about $8500
Option 4...sell the boat needing a new engine
Any advice on the best way to go? Only had the boat a year but got a helluva deal on it. Paid less than any of the options listed. And I'm in Jackson, MS. Anybody with shop recommendations around here would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and please DM me where I can pick up my award.
