I have inherited a 1986 Chris Craft Scorpion 230 with a Mercruiser 260
(Chevy 5.7L 350). It has a cracked block.

Anyonw know what to expect to pay to have someone pull the motor out
and reinstall. I would like to buy a new short block and do the
component swap myself.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave


Is the boat on a trailer at your house? If so, why not just buy an engine
hoist and do it yourself?
