Appreciate all the input. I have some homework to do. Most of the Boat Yards around me are merc dealers - will have to do some more research. Please keep comments coming.

When folks like you get in this situation I always think it's good to go to a boat show and look at new boats comparable to the SeaCraft, actually not too many to choose from, and after you get over sticker shock the cost of a new re-power will look better and better!!! Good luck!

Wanted to give an update - after much consideration she is going in for re-power and some upgrades next week. Putting in a Crusader - the mechanic I am using works on a lot of SeaCrafts and knows them well, he prefers the Crusader and since he is going to be my mechanic I felt I should go with what he likes working on. Can’t wait to see how she runs!

Did you go with one of the 5.7L or the 6.0?

How many hours did your old engine have?

650 hours - the motor was rebuilt 16 years ago just before I purchased it - 2 years ago I had a mechanical issue that a boat yard down here misdiagnosed - it was never right after that and I ended up with fuel pouring into the engine and lost some compression in a cylinder - up until then it ran fine

Wow. That’s low hours. Sounds like a bad card dealt. Thanks for sharing
