thats a SX type drive, it wasw an outgrowth from OMC SX drives that Volvo built for OMC after OMC figured out they could't build a decent drive if their life depended on it. The Volvo drive in that boat is a good drive, and as we all know, Wellcraft makes a good boat, but realisticaly, by the time you bought an engine, and had soem one swap it out, you're going to end up with a lot more than its worth. It might be different if you were able to do a majority of the labor, or if you allready had an engine, but for $2500 with a bad motor, that sounds a little high, but a lot depends on what motor is in there

Spareparts:

Understand, the big question is the motor (apparently it had a 3.0L previously) and if I could replace with a used 3.0L merc ( $600.00)and do the labor myself it would be a reasonable family runabout for 3200 and and ten year old boat. However, the seller is being very evasive on pictures of the interior so I suspect it is completely trashed which will kill the deal for me.

Thanks for the info.
