I personally would have the gimble rebuilt with new bellows and such, install a new SEI outdrive, and find a rebuilt 3.7L 4 cylinder for it if it was my boat, but I wrench on my own so that changes things. I don't there is a better engine option out there than the old 3.7L 4 banger that MERCRUISER offerred for a V-20.

I am in your same situation. Considering dropping in a 3.0 for the economy and cost of ownership. The way I measured I can drop the 3.0 right in any "V" configuration 4.3/5.0/5.7 is going to need some glass work done for the engine mounts. I am not concerned about top speed speed, just want a smooth idle, ability to plane and economic operation. If things keep going the way they are in the middle east I may have to put a sailing rig on her too.

I checked some pricing for you. Mercury remanufacturing offers a 4.3 for $4868 and a 5.0 for $6243. Or they have a new complete package (4.3,transom,drive) for $8895.

I've never heard of him. I live and work in Ocean County. About 80 miles north of that guy. Looking at his website he looks very legit. He is a master mercruiser tech which isn't easy to get. Other than that I can't offer any advise.
