Mercury Engine Rebuilt!! Need the Rebuilt Kit

[longstand]

My cousin Purchase a Good looking boat for $750 but the engine has Seize. I remove the Head, Intake and i notice that the piston is FINISH. its growing Fungus or something inside. its all white and nasty.

So, now it needs a rebuilt.

Where is a good place to buy a Rebuilt Kit or a Engine?

Ayuh,... Drag it to a Machine Shop,...
They'll have access to whatever parts are necessary for a rebuild...
Buying the package from the Machine Shop, usually gets ya a Better price on the Whole package...

Sounds like salt water corrosion. If that is what it is, we call those engines junk, not even worth rebuilding.

What Kind of Engine can i Slap on it? I want to use all the same parts, i just dont want to buy any new parts, besides what i already have!

I do belive its Salt water Corrosion, it looks salty inside.
