"74, 20' cc I/O Merc or Volvo

[jw]

Are you replacing the Outdrive as well as the engine? I got a quote for $6,600.00 for a brand new total replacement. But I opted for a new outdrive unit , used , my engine runs great. The volvo is a great engine, pricy though, pricer yest when they break, goldplated parts. Try looking in the boat trader , I think there are deal on long blocks and complete motors, Mercruiser.
Good luck,
