Looking to repower my 2001 Pursuit 3000 Express from Mercruisers to Crusaders. The local crusader dealers are not interested in doing the work. They are all land bound and I don't have a trailer.
Does anyone have experience doing this? I would like to contact the mechanics who have done this. I am in the Tampa Bay Area (indain rocks beach).
After two months of research I am beginning to feel this is impossible. Neither Pursuit or Crusader have provided any guidance. I cannot get any one to call me back or give me a price.
Please help.
Thanks!

There are plenty of marinas in the area that do service work, have you reached out to any of them?

PURSUIT 3000 REPOWER
I repowered my 2000 express but installed diesels. Made a huge difference in the boat. Helps re-sale as well.

PURSUIT 3000 REPOWER
Yes I have reached out to several. Either they straight up tell me the Pursuit 3000 Express is a boat they refuse to work on, or they simply take my number and never call me back. Even after repeated phone calls to ask when they will get back to me. This has be going on for 12 weeks.
No help from Crusader or their dealers. I have contacted Crusader and all of the local Crusader dealers and none of them return my calls. I get the same response or no call back. As such, I have decided to look at the 357 Mercruisers due to the complexity of the Crusader install and lack of willing installers that are in the West Coast Florida area. Now I am getting the same responses from boats yards to do the Mecruiser swap.
I have got 30K to spend and it looks like my Pursuit is going to sit and rot on the water.
