Just sharing my experience with blue motors. Some people here don't seem to like them.

This is not true. The people here that are critical about them are hot rodders, tinkers, DIY guys. They know what goes in a motor and actual cost. They are expressing their opinion on what you pay for when buying a mercury engine package. That's it, nothing more.

Understand, not being critical that's why I said some people and not all people

It's unfortunately not my position to say. It is comparable to the cost of the rebuild.

Look I get it, for the mainstay of the boating industry a mercury package is your best option. But understand what you're paying for. If I were to pay that kind of money for an engine it would make 3000 hp, period. I'm not trying to be a dick about this but it's the facts.

There you have it. Brand new motor or used with 200 hours for the same price. Rebuild......

Been down both roads and you can't argue with that. But can you paint it blue?

I get it too. If I had the time and resources I would order a brand new truck without an engine and have one built
