    Repowering labor cost?

    Process of buying a 23, low hour 250 Proxs. What should expect for labor cost,hour wise to take off existing 2016 2 stroke( 250 proxs) and re rig the newer 4 stroke? Going on existing jackplate and will be hooked up to existing mercmonitor. Thanks

    Honestly its up to your dealer but to me a good mechanic can easily have it in say 4 hours

    For most bassboats about 4-5 hours, assuming the jackplate, steering, fuel system, and boat electrical systems are all in good condition/order.

    Any re-rigging of materials may require additional time. One of the more common items is rigging hose that may not be compatible.
