Re: 77 23' Savage
Let me explain further. I am sure you are in a boating area, and that there are people that rebuild transmissions. In my area,(Sarasota) I can get it done for $600. Yes for the price difference why buy a rebuilt. However what I am trying to save you is the headache of pulling the old engine taking off the tranny, put it on the new engine, drop it in, and find out it does not work. Now you have to pull the new engine again, and then rebuild the tranny (or buy) then reassemble and start all over again. If the boat has not been under water and has been running before, the tranny is probly good. Pull the dipstick. If the oil looks new, then I am sure you can get away with out doing anything. However I think it is cheap insurance, at this point.
Anybody out there have another take on this?
