I replaced the motor in my 98 GTX with a SBT rebuilt with a "no questions asked, 100% Two Year Warranty" for $1200 and swapped it myself. Very cost effective. If the dealer has already offered to pay $1000 of the cost they are admitting some responsibility. That translates to more ammo at court time. When the dealer was winterizing my boat, THEY told me they winterized according to THEIR protocol beacuse THEY knew if anything happened resulting from THEIR winterization (or negligence) that THEY were responsible for any and all damage.
If yours was a dealer in Moultonborough, they were involved in the reason my own GTX needed a new motor....bad maintenance. Basically someone didn't check something important when the machine was serviced (to do this task, you had to work by mirror between the engine and the hull side and its time consuming) Result? Self distruction with pieces coming out of the engine case.
