do you know why the motor was changed? I wouldnt think the block cracked down there if it was a local boat.

did they replace the bellows and seals on the outdrive at the same time? what about the gimbal?

Excellent info, this is what I was looking for . As far as the engine replacement, from what I'm told a head gasket was blown on the original engine. Not sure what all got replaced along with the engine, but it would be a good question to ask him. The previous owner used Allen Marine on 72nd street in Baton Rouge so we brought it back to him to do routine maitanence.

It never really gets cold enough down here to crack the block, I know plenty of people who don't even drain theirs over the winter (not that I'll follow their example).

The out drive is the same Bravo 3 so I'm sure he updated it whenever the engine was replaced. But it never hurts to ask so I'll be calling him after work today.
