Just got my quote. All I can say is WOW. I sent in two perfectly working (2006) 1075's. They had 125 hours. Uppers done at 75 hours. Retail on the quote for the refresh and recomended upgrades was $95,000. This included a pulley upgrade that they highly recomended, new valve covers, and a few cosmetic upgrades. This was mercury's recommended price but my guy doing the R&R gave me a discount.
They just better perform as well as the first 125 hours.

at that price why would you not investigate a few guys on the board to get you a rebuild price... like Tommy from Chief, Eddie Young, JCRP, Mark from Precision, Dean..or even Jassmeister perf engines
..to me it would be less coin, possibly better parts..tell me what Im missing. And to ask 95k is just ludicrist....Thanks Jeff

Merc Racing told me $23k per when i talked to them last week. It's full rebuild with 6 mo. warranty. They also told me adjust valves with every oil change (25 hours), change drive oil (25 hrs) and the engine should go 150 hours.
