The cost to repower any boat all comes down to what you are starting with as to its condition vs. what you want to end up with.. There are so many variables in-between that the answer is not like 1+1=2.. Plus since the labor cost is a such major part of any repower project, much of the total cost comes from who performs the labor — a private mechanic, a boat yard with high overhead expenses , the owner, or a combo of all 3.. Repowering a boat in your back yard on a trailer with a cover over it is way cheaper than in a yard pay yard rent. As I said, lots of variables as to a total project cost.
But from my experience, most of the Farallons I have worked on, were more like a “restoration” ( at least from the cabin aft) that just a repower.. Spending $100K using a mechanical 6BTA is usually a starting point with a boat that does not need new fuel tanks, decks & hatches. Once you talk those items and / or QSB’s, then start adding $$ in $10K-$20K increments..
Why not go about this question with a set of pictures of a specific Farallon you are looking at, and then a list of goals you want to accomplish and how and who will accomplish them———————- That’s really the only way to attempt to pin your question down.
