Cracked block

Found out today that I didn't winterize properly, so obviously I found a milk shake on the dipstick. I went and talked to my marina guys, they have 2 complete fuel injected with low hours that they assured me they could easily swap. I currently have an AQ211a carbed 305. They have both a 305 and 350 and quoted me around $4500 to do entire job, even split between motor and install.... Does this sound reasonable as I am at their mercy since I have neither the time or facilities to do it myself. Thanks

I would jump on it. They must be used engines at that price. Go with the 5.7 if you can. I would think a dealer rate would be around 6-7 thousand for an engine and install. Dave-R.

Yes, used with 120 hours on them, they were twins pulled from a damaged boat, 5.7's. I thought it to be reasonable after looking into it a little more today. Thanks for the reply !
