I would keep what you have. I'm not very fond of engines that have been underwater. I got a car once that was in a flood, had more trouble with that car. The money I spent on it, I could have gotten a new one.
JMHO!!

why so high a profit margin....????

if .........it's almost as good as new....????

and it is guaranteed "somehow to last"..... (lets say)

he wouldn't/shouldn't mind if you gave it a good try....for a week!!!
(that would be standing behind his work
and it would do the motor good anyways....)

when the weather warmed up that is....
to prove it's seaworthiness....

otherwize ..... keep on lookin

$1500 Might take a chance on it as you could always part it out on Ebay. 3K and not knowing if it's gonna quit? Might be worth a pass... Spend twice that plus a little more and get a new motor.

It's a real good engine, know a few with them and 140s, sippppppssss fuel, but too much electronic on it from the wiring harness to the ECU, alt, etc...
