If I do the new engine I will definitely install a remote oil filter and full closed cooling. This will normal maintenance and winterizing much easier not having to remove the block drains, lay down next the engine to change the oil filter, etc. While I have wanted an outboard boat for years, the re-power cost on them is daunting. A closed cooled inboard I feel will last as long or longer.

Wondering how things are going with the rebuild? Did you decide on using the old block or go entirely with a different unit?
Hope all's well and you're on the water soon.
