For now I decided to hold off. It is difficult to justify spending $30k on a toy, considering I only used it about 20 hours this season. Instead, I spent a little time and money servicing my Merc 200 EFI. Its thirsty and smokey, but its already there and works great...when it does
I replaced the stator and trigger and voltage regulators and hope that will resolve the intermittent problems I was having.
I still plan to re-power and add a bracket, but just not right now.
