Thanks for the responses guys, I think it's between the Merc 357 and the Crusader 350 at this point.
To your point kevmen, my shop heavily prefers Mercruiser and does more Merc repowers than Crusaders. The price difference is very close, Mercruiser slightly more but with up to 3 years more warranty than the crusader.
The bad news, turns out the Crusader isn't doing to good. Low compression in two cylinders so it looks like I will be repowering this winter.
