I have been looking around locally with no luck. I have found a few on ebay but I'm not sure what I should be paying for this engine and stern drive. Other than ebay, do you guys have any sources I can check with for these items?
Thanks!
Oh and I got this boat (1998 Tahoe Q5) on a trailer with brakes and swivel tongue for free so I figured spending 5 - 6000 on it to get it in shape wouldn't be such a bad idea. The hull is in great shape
Just like Bondo said: I pulled everything I could use or sell and hauled my stripped donor boat to the landfill. They let me tie it to the blade of a D9 and drive out from under it. 2 minutes later it was splinters. When done it was a couple wheelbarrows of glass fibers. Cost $25 fee
I paid $1500 for a boat with no floor or transom and a new rebuilt V6 and complete outdrive. It appeared in pretty good shape, so used it to repower my own boat. I figure you can find similar. Even if the boat you find has a freeze cracked block if it's cheap enough, last I checked a 4.3L block is ~$300. LOTS cheaper than a 3.0L block.
