Thanks all for your input.

I just found out that the price of the rebuilt atomic four is $5K plus $1K shipping plus $1K or more for install. So I'm looking at a minimum of $7K for a rebuilt Atomic four.

I also found that the rebuilds are ready and sitting on the shelf and I won't have to wait a month as I anticipated which diminishes my interest in an outboard.

Noboby thinks an outboard is a useful backup? Inboards are reliable enough, or outboards are ugly and/or unreliable?

Has anyone recently replaced a gas with a diesel? What was the real price after mounting issues, lines, etc? I'm pretty sure I'm going with the atomic four at this point, but I'd like to know what the price would have been. BTW my boat cost $13,500 minus $5K for the faulty engine.
