Our houseboat has twin Merc 350 engines and Bravo 2 outdrives. The marina at Lake Powell is very sloooow and expensive. The last outdrive "tune-up" was over $1,000. I'm tired of paying what I consider to be waaaay too much. As such, I want to purchase a spare outdrive (not just a lower unit) to have on the boat as a "just in case". If there is an outdrive problem, a swap-out is much faster than having the marina look for parts and fiddle-fart around. With the outdrive swapped out, I can take the "bad" unit to an off-lake shop for work at much lower rates.
So, I need to locate a seller of quality rebuilt Mercruiser stern drives. I won't have a "core" to send them, so I'll just have to pay the fee. I only found a couple offerings on-line: Power Boat Limited and All American Drives. Does anybody have any experience with these vendors? Any other suggestions? Doesn't have to be local, as I'm willing to pay shipping.
