There is a lot of information here regarding the 7.4 OMC King Cobra parts and service concerns. I own a 95 Four Winns Horizon 240 with the 7.4L engine and the OMC cone style KC outdrive.

I just found that the engine block is cracked and am looking at the prospects of replacing the motor. If I do, should I get rid of the the KC outdrive at the same time? If so, is there a better motor/outdrive combination that will work on my boat.

I am also struggling with the idea putting $8K into a boat that may only worth $10-12K. Short of sinking it in the middle of the lake, is there any value in parting the boat out or selling as a donor boat? The KC outdrive still works fine. Any opinions or ideas?

Who told you 8K? Sound crazy to me. Rapidly marine has 7.4 long blocks for under 2K. Then you just switch your other parts over. Not that hard.
