That's actually not bad pricing... If your heads need a bunch of welding and machining to make them work... I suspect they will. I know its a big chunk to swallow, but that's the cost of having these toys. Beware of lowball quotes for your stuff... Usually its low and when they get into it, it goes way up. Most of the time when its done, you could have had the new heads.

Probably your fastest, easiest way to get back on the water right now is to put the new Dart heads on. They are about half the cost of merc heads. Then later in winter they can be ported and do the rest of the package. If your heads are really bad (flange corrosion, guides badly worn etc.) It's more cost effective to use the new dart head. Before they came out w that head you had no choice but to fix them because the merc head is very expensive.

I thought the 525 used edelbrock marine heads. They are not that expensive...no need to buy anything from Merc
