Chances are it will be more cost effective on a motor of that age and size to just get a full lower unit replacement. Depending on the condition of the motor and it's age, it may be more cost effective to get the money for the motor (if insurance is covering it) and put that toward a different motor. Hopefully a full replacement of the lower unit will be all it takes and hopefully not too many $$ out of pocket. Not sure on cost, although when I had a lower unit replaced on a 50hp johnson, it was around $1500, and that was back in 2002.
You might be able to find a used lower unit on ebay, or a parts motor to take the lower unit from, although that is definitely a buyer beware issue.
