quite lucky!

$1,500. The dealer paid for it.

The block is okay! Needs a circulation pump and new freeze plugs, but the block is okay.

Thanks for reminding me. I need to close that loop. The block was okay! The dealer is paying for the pump and the freeze plugs.

I just bought a 2000 260 bow rider with a 7.4, and when I took it to get de-winterized, the plugs were blown out. Thank god the block is okay, but the guy said the r&r circulating & sea pump needs to be replaced. The heck is that? I googled it and found something about the a/c. This thing...
