Find new, it will be cheaper. I put a new engine in mine, and that cost 1750 shipped to my door. You could easily find one for 2k-3k, which would be just half the cost of what you are looking to do.

If you haven't done any more mods then a stereo and lights, find something else!! it's different if you have spent a good chunk of time an money and now she is showing the need for those serious repairs. I am in a boat right now that I have thought about just stopping and starting on another or something else. but I have a different situation.
