If the starting circuit is bad it is not drawing-the problem could be any number of things. I know you checked the grounds in earlier posts,but did you take the main grounds off of the block, clean surface and put them back on. You should be able to find them-check the stud coming from the block and check the terminal on your ground wire. If the grounds are new (from re-wire), something may have gone wrong when he tightened everything back up-maybe a gound went bad after you ran the boat for a while. All of your new parts are certainly narrowing it down to wire or connection, and if the wireis new, I'm guessing connection. My mercrusier has two block gounds on the back of the block-they can definitely get sketchy if not checked once in a while.
This is turning into an old-fashioned barnraising.

This thread is like a soap opera, I just cannot wait to see the latest developments. I can't wait to check in to see what is going on. I also second Chuck's commments. For 3k he would either be at my house until the problem was corrected or I would be at his house until the problem was corrected.

Good luck,

Well boys, many thanks to all here, especially Scott. I called him this afternoon and with in 10 minutes he had it figured out. Turns out that a wire was going to the wrong terminal on the back of the stater selonoid. I know it was nothing i did wrong as it was making the clicking sound before i changed the starter. Never the less, thank you Scott and everyone else. What a great site. you guys rock!!!!!!!!
