Ralo, $1900 is a good chunk of change to me too. Only issue is that a "certified" mechanic has already been in this one, last fall. I may give him one more shot, but...

Cray, yes the aftermarket one has a 3 year warranty. Fish on Line posted that the Marine Parts Warehouse lower built with OEM parts has a 3 year warranty but I couldn't find that info. All I could find on that one is that it had a one year warranty.
