I am considering buying a 1999 Sea Ray 210 with a 5.7L Merc EFI on it. It has been a saltwater boat slipped for 3-4 months each year for about 7-8 of the last 10 years (Atlantic Ocean/New Jersey). Approximately 450 hours. Boat is immaculate other than some pitting on the Bimini struts. Boat appears to have been well maintained with the bottom and outdrive painted etc. I am a freshwater boater (Great Lakes). What are the things I need to do to overhaul such a motor & outdrive to ensure the negative effects of the saltwater (if any) are fixed and the IO is restored? What items would you check, what would you look for and what would you just routinely replace regardless? What are the approximate costs involved both for parts and for labor to do the work? Want to know before I decide to buy it.
