Well not new but rebuilt... These fellas have a warranty, ship to your door, and no core charge.. http://www.rapidomarine.com/

A few on here have used em with success...

I have seen some sites that sell brand new engines with vortec heads online but I can't recall where.. If you go complete"turn key" get ready to bust out the bucks...

A chevy 4.3.. Your boat doesn't care if it a GMC or a Chevrolet truck.. I would hunt down one with vortec heads 91 or newer..
Good luck
