WELCOME Chasemmc!
Just to get your quotes straight...the 892 rebuilds (complete including tranny's, new cutlass bearings, engine alignments and new everything) will get closer to $60,000 per engine...not the pair. ...And Especially for being Newbie...DON'T BUY A FIXER UPPER of ANY KIND! PERIOD. Spend the $250,000 for the nicest, most survey correct 53 you can find on the planet. You'll be glad you did later. Your full risk insurance policy for a boat with a correct survey will run about $6500 for the year if you plan on cruising south.
Best of Luck!

I need to start doing work for you. That's ok as far as finding the yard that caters to the rich and crazy but I repowered a 42 hatt with cummins 450c and Transmissions for less than that.

Anyone who spends 120K to rebuild a pair of 8V92s should be institutionalized. Why would you rebuild the trannies if they don't need it? Most good ones will make it through 3 engine rebuilds if they are cared for. My mechanic did an 8v92TA for my neighbor. The engine had to come out of the boat since the crank was bad. 32K for a very extensive rebuild with the added cost of getting the engine out and back in to a very tight ER.

I agree. If someone tried to sell me a $60k rebuild, I'd opt to repower with warranties and sell the old units for parts. That's just insane.
Re: Newbie looking for 52-58 MY
We need to work the cost out in pizzadollars. Remember his boat first listed for $599 or so and sold for about $200. That's 3 pizzadollars to a us dollar by my math.
So 120/ 3 = 40 or about $20k per engine.
Re: Newbie looking for 52-58 MY
There are 8v71N remans going for $16k plus core,$4k for trans and a $10k remove/install per motor and not changing shafts etc. I was told $3k +\- per hole is normal for in hull rebuilds.
Re: Newbie looking for 52-58 MY
Pizzadollars.... I like it. So... buy in PZ$s and sell in USD.. or do I have it backwards?

Re: Newbie looking for 52-58 MY
Actually... my 58 Hatteras Yacht Fish PIZZAZ eventually closed at $260K...which was a steal for her buyer back then. 980 original hours. The survey and engine surveys were flawless. Her physical condition was one of a kind factory new in every respect. 3 years and 700 hours later, her new owner has yet to need a major repair on any component. NOT APPLES TO APPLES! This thread was about what it COULD cost a newbie in a major yard in South Florida, not "how cheap I can do it".
I just happen to be one of those guys who admittedly goes overboard in the pursuit of "perfect". To consider a rebuild, I want everything renewed from the cooling system, to the exhausts, to the heat exchangers, starters and water pumps, to new hoses and clamps whether needed or not. The WORKS...not just the overhaul. The whole premise being to renew "everything" to "NEW" condition. Not just what it "needs".
We're looking at things from 2 different perspectives.
