what is the average cost to completely rebuild a 1984 3.0 omc 140 horse motor i need to get my boat motor rebuilt but i dont want to be taken to the cleaners. it seems that the last guy that owned this boat thought changing valve cover gasket was "rebuild" HA HA

Re: rebuild

bert,<br /><br />You can buy warranted reman. engines for around $2K. Not a whole lot more for a new "drop in".<br /><br /> Use that as a guideline.<br /><br />Check out: www.drmarine@aol.com

There is a guy that sells nearly new 3.0l replacements on e-bay for around $1100.<br /><br />Just do a search on Mercruiser and you will find the ad.<br /><br />Here is the auction. This guy runs these all the time..<br /> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1842388729
