Hey I'm looking for a reputable company that offers new or rebuilt merc engine to replace my 5.7lx that recently took a dump. Anyone know a good place to buy marine engines and also someone in Southern California who installs . The outdrive is not needed since the Bravo One is o.k. I'm looking for something stock that I can just drop in. Anyone had experience doing this before. The boat is a 1982 21" Tahiti Carribean and if the engine replacement becomes too expensive, I'll have to sell the boat or wait till next season before I can even think of getting back on the water. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
