[TOBTEK]

QUESTION.....Some loser here at work is looking at a theft recovery LaveyCraft that needs a motor and out drive. What does a turnkey motor/drive cost.....496 bravo one type setup. somthing stock and usable..........anyone?

Here's one site that lists a basic 496 with Bravo I for a little under $15K. I have no idea if this is a deal or a rip-off. :)

This would be the ultra cheap route, but I thought I might suggest it.

I will sell him a 502 Mag for $6500 and he can find a drive for less than $3000... :D

Tob,
Here is a link to give an idea of the MSRP of new Merc motor/drive pkgs. I don't know what the actual selling price is through these guys, but this should help to give a ballpark idea..
