May buy an engine
I've got an 30hp susuki 1983 with some engine problems,
repair shop says, bad CVI unit and poor voltage. repairs could
run up to $1000.00.
Repair shop, also has a 1995 40hp mercury, just rebuilt with power tilt and trim, installed $2000.
What do you guys think, what questions should I be asking?

For about $3200-3400, you can buy a New 2003 Nissan 40 with tilt and trim and oil injection delivered to your door from Cabelas with no tax or freight. You may find a local dealer that will match that. Also check Tohatsu - that's one tough little engine. You should be able to find some awesome deals on new engines now due to end of year prices. I'd seriously look at those before I spent two grand on a used motor, but if it is really good shape, it might be a deal.
Why was it rebuilt and exactly what did the rebuild cover? What kind of warranty will this guy give you on this rebuilt motor??

We are looking into repowering the pontoon boat - possibly with a four stroke fifty. There are alot of choices and prices change daily. It can seem mind-boggling at times. If you find a price on-line, I would see if a local dealer would match it. That way you can buy local but still get the best price out there.
