how much would it coast to rewire a 460 17 foot jet and is there anybody on here who can do it

It's not hard to do at all, you just need the wire, some connectors, shrink wrap & zip ties. Hit 2Sav up, he re-wired his Bahner and if I recall it came out looking pretty sweet.

I'll do it for a mortgage payment :o
If you really want to get a killer job, check out the premade harness kits you can buy, a lot of times you can't buy the wire for what the kits cost. I have used them in the last three boats we did.

Check the hardin marine's harness. Just re did mine and im a monkey when comes to that. its pretty easy, not to much$ and ask for the diagram with it. to do It i think you have to buy 2 . one for the front of the boat and one for the rear that bolts to the back of the block. worth it and easy-r than buying color coded wire and doing it your self.

Theres a few extra leads, and dependant on if your not going to use a ballast resistor for your points ignition youll have some connections left over.

Start to finish, custom wiring.
Depends on the labor rate, so lets go this way.....
So you got about 250' of wire +/-...figure about .50c/ft. $125
you're gonna need terminals, lets call it 40 terminals at $1 ea. $40
wire ties and loom tape, call it another $20. $20
I would say a day of labor, let's call it 8 hrs. at $75/hr. (it's $90 up here) $600
$185 in materials, dont forget the taxes call it $15 = $200+ labor(600)= $800
Sooo $800, give or take, you can buy te harnesses for a little over $100.
Money potentially saved by DIY= $650, That's a lot of money for spare parts.
