I repowered my positive flotation, blue water, cruising yacht for $1,500.
Removing the old motor and installing the new motor took about twenty
minutes. No muss, no fuss! No disruption to the interior of the yacht,
either.

How much would it cost you to repower the Flying Pig?
How many weeks downtime would there be?
How huge a mess would it make in the accommodation?
How sore would your back be?
How close to serving you with divorce papers would Lydia be? lol

How would your outboard perform on a 46 ft, 40,000 pound boat?

How big is your alternator?

What is your fuel range under power?

What is the expected longevity in operating hours?

Can your outboard be used to heat water?

What are the chances that your outboard could save you from a lee
shore in a severe squall?
