Rebuild services???

[shaneburris74]

So, it's time to start looking for a boat. (BTW the V is still sitting on the side of my yard if there are any other pieces anyone wants. PM for specifics.) I'm seriously considering buying a boat with no hull and buying a bad motor and having it rebuilt OR buying a boat with a bad motor on it and having it rebuilt. So, what should I expect to pay to have, say, a late 90's or early 00's 150-225 hp two stroke rebuilt. I know there are alot of variables. Any opinions/experience would be appreciated.
My thought is that if I buy something and rebuild it then, I know exactly what I got. I'm not relying on some guy to tell me that is has low hours and he always took the best care of it.
Thanks guys, Shane
