Ok. What if I just used a continuous duty electric water pump instead?

I have seen some that are self priming, and wont burn out if ran dry. I
guess this would be a cheaper alternative. I may also install a seperate
water pickup under the engine area to reduce lift issues. I am also
thinking that installing a weep hole to insure the damn thing is pumping
as it should.

Not if you want to be in compliance with USCG and ABYC standards.
It's really not a good idea - check with your insurance company.

It really shouldn't be that difficuly to get your FWC working. My
guess is that the problem is in the leg. There is a procedure that
must be followed when replacing the impeller to make sure that the
water passage stays open.
