All Good advice. I don't know that I trust him to work on my stuff. I mean he is just a huge PITA 95% of the time. LOL! I did him a solid by buying the new motor from him. He needed to sell "X" number of new Mercs to be considered a dealer IIRC. I will throw him a bone. Thanks for the input..

Tell him to advertise it somewhere in South Georgia. The same guys trade the same used up Johnny Rudes back and forth around here constantly. Most think they're made out of gold. "Just needs the carbs cleaned..." LOL.

If they were made of gold it would not have corroded so badly.

I know I am a little late to the conversation, dang snow.

I like the idea of giving him a few extra bucks, let him keep the motor and the hassle of parting it out. All is good.

Damn my 89 110 is way cleaner than any of those. I bet I could get $2k down there.

Do you want a warranty on your new engine? If yes, then they rig it. It's that plain and simple when it comes to getting a new engine. If you want ANY warranty on your new outboard, they MUST do the final rigging and 1st startup. Alot of dealers won't even sell you an engine to rig yourself. Do some research on ED's marine and see what YAMAHA did to them when they got caught selling new outboards, giving people the warranty, but not rigging them. Or it could be like an ETEC where it WON'T run unless it is setup by the installing dealer with BRP's software.

Very true, wasn't trying to ruffle your feathers, one of the perks of being a Mercruiser tech is setting up your own, guess I should have mentioned that in my post.
