Aaaaaaahh ! --- repower w/ an I/O or O/B ????

[barnacle]

Going the outboard way you will be really close if not over the $3,000.00 mark. We do both kinds of installs and if you walked in we would say go the I/O route. It is much cheaper going that way. I would choose MerCruiser over the Volvo Penta for 2 reasons. First is price and the Second is MerCruiser is using the triple nickle system which is much ahead of the MEFI system that volvo is still using. I can not see the Mercruiser 5.7MPI Horizion with a Bravo 1 drive cost you more then 13,000. with the controls, gauges, harness, and steering system. If you want I can price you a MerCruiser package vrs a 250 Evinrude Di package with a Armstrong bracket.
