One thing that hasn't been mentioned, far as I can tell, is that a new engine will add to the resale. Maybe not a lot but when I was shopping for boats one advertised as having a "new engine" told a better story of it's owner than one advertised with rebuilt or used repowers.
It's a "did it right, did it all the way" vs "got the job done well enough" type of story.
