Not familiar with this "buying something for big bucks" concept. Goes against ever fiber of my being... Seriously though, if you want, I'd love to take a look at it and see how hard it would be to fix. I live for stuff like this.
There's a Mercruiser 454 with new head gaskets, valve seals and recently lapped valves in my garage right now that I'm working on for/with a friend for fun. Should be dropping it back in his boat this weekend.
My best find ever (so far): I recently bought a complete 2005ish Bravo 3 lower gear case with only 22 hours on it, for 25 bucks (these are $3400 new). Has some minor corrosion, but is in perfect working order. I did not rip the seller off, I made sure he was aware that it was a ridiculously good deal; he had sold his boat, was moving to TN, and just wanted it gone
but not wasted. I was simply looking to re-stock my spare parts bin after changing an outer prop shaft, bearing carrier, and seal, on my boat's Bravo 3.
