I just received a quote to have a new engine installed and perhaps it is not too unreasonable. The cost is upwards of 23K with about 2k in taxes and $11,500 in labour (125 hours). At first, I was floored but then after thinking about it, it may not be too far off. This includes pulling the old engine, changing the stringers to accept a 4 point mount instead of the current 3, and installing the new engine. They stated that all new wiring for the panel needed to be run (not sure why) and 125 hours of labour seems like a whole lot.
Anyone have any comments or reference points. This is a very reputable shop that is highly regarded. I'm curious to see what the insurance company is going to do. If you have had any similiar experiances, please let me know.
The boat in question is an Ericson 38-200 with the engine under the galley.
