My buddy has a 1978 80 HP Merc. that needs to be rebuilt. The carbs were rebuilt a year or so ago and the lower unit is in good shape. Is it best to look into having the powerhead rebuilt or should he look for a new motor? He lives in Connecticut. Is there someone in that area that would do a good rebuild at a reasonable price? What do you think it would run him? It's a 4 cylinder with twin carbs.<br />Stalker
