Repower Help
I have 38 Baja with 502's 350 hours one blown engine. I think the best choice is to repower with 496's.
Do most of you agree and where have been the best prices on a new 496.
Has anyone heard of a Mercruiser repair program where a dealer sells an engine with 10 hours or less and it comes with a 1 year warranty from Mercruiser.
I welcome your thoughts.

Merc does have a factory Certified Pre-owned Warranty Program by Mercury Product Protection, for Dealer resale; both sterndrives and egg beaters. 1 and 2 year coverages are available on qualifying power packages.

Re: Repower Help
Thanks for your comments on repower.
Has anybody used the Mercruiser repair engine program. They come with 1 year and be extended for 2 more years for $960.00 each.
Also any idea what my remaining excellent running 502 with 350 hours worth I have no idea.
Thanks Carmine

Re: Repower Help
I just went through TWO 454's for a third of what you will spend on new 496's, and ALL new stuff except blocks, and they probably make more power, and are as drivable, as the $30K deal....
Granted they are not 502's, but it was not $30K either...
