Ferm I have no experience with these boats, or the I/O. A couple of thoughts though.
After you repair or replace what you know to be wrong, and throw in a doozy or two you did not expect, will you have a boat that makes you smile ear to ear?
If so go for it. Sometimes we set a money point in our heads that just is not going to get us where we want to be, and in the end we let something slip away and regret it later.
I think all men have done this.

So, how much does your finished product appeal to you?
Does it tickle your fancy my friend?
