Rebuilding a 1998 bombardier 1800

[boston4946]

It's not quite a mess got it 2-yrs ago for $500 I had bought a new lanyared and plugged it into the mechanics laptop and found its only got 240 hrs on it.1 motor seized other OK.never was winterized so I dumped mystery oil in plug ports hoping to free it up but it was no bueno.I got a new/rebuilt 712 rotex installed it and a week later and i got SHOT.NOW 2 yrs later I got a shit load of pictures of engine compartment because I was about to tackle a new type of rebuilding. Never done a boat,plenty of Motor cycle ,car motor work so I took plenty of pics in case I had problames locating part places.and I've been at a stand still.am I better off giving a way over priced mechanic to put this back together ,lot of seized bolts to be tapped but for the most part it's not a massive project yet.
Are there downloads I can get to put the carbs,cleaners ,etc back together,seals,gaskets,etc
THANX I'm sorry so much info,
Or do we have a trusted mechanic rollodex ,to where I may take this gem and give him $700-$1000 to get square.
I really want to do it myself but am in no possession to loose $ over being a rookie

Pieces only fit one way, so not much risk there... My suggestion is to acquire and review the shop manual and then make up your mind, having more info on what is required. What does it need now? What is its current condition? For these Seized bolts, have you tried heat yet? Good Luck!
