[Public-List] Cost of a new motor

[Cole, Andrew L]

Peter,

You didn't specify gas or diesel.  I can't speak to diesel from personal
knowledge, but I understand $8,000.00 or higher would not be
unreasonable to expect, as there are a lot of systems and hardware that
need changing in addition to the lump itself.

A "new" rebuilt Gray Marine runs somewhere just shy of $4,000.00 bench
tested and ready to drop in from Van Ness Engineering in NJ.  I'm not
sure if that includes the transmission or not, but it very well may
since they'd have to be mated in order to bench run the engine (shared
oil).  My impression is that Van Ness only reconditions clean freshwater
cooled engines which don't have jacket wall thickness issues.  My
impression having been to Jersey and met Mr. Van Ness is also that they
do top notch work and nothing less than perfect leaves their place, I
would consider this a new engine.

A "new" rebuilt A4 is somewhere a bit north of that, $4,500ish I think,
from Moyer.  I haven't met Moyer, but by all indications he's as
meticulous as Van Ness, and I would expect his rebuilt engines are
effectively 'new.'

Don't know what a well maintained nice running Grey would go for, I
would gladly have parted with $500.00 when we were doing ours last year
for the convenience of being able to yank one and drop in another, but
probably wouldn't have paid $2,500.00.  That gives you an idea of what
it would have been worth to me, not necessarily what it is 'worth.'
