So I'd say that even if something drastic would happen, for the engine itself, I'd say that $8000, in marine form would be about right. Of course, labor not included. I'd love to see that sort of price on a new Cummins 5.9 TD for marine use. I would think it closer to somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000. I doubt you can buy a 90 hp outboard for $8000 these days. From talking to Bob Smith at American Diesel, it all depends on what you buy. If you want a completely new engine, including all the bolt-ons, you pay a high price. If you buy a short or long block and re-use the bolt-ons, the price is considerably less. It's ok though. Tim's gonna contribute to the cost in the event of a thrown rod or something ..... :-) Eisboch You can always beg for donations here. We have a NG who can give you some tips on doing so. ;-) *NG member*....... Sorry..........not a good day for me. ;-( Gee...did you mean Newsgroup Member or... No Good Member? :) |
