2011 df150 submerged. What to do with it

I picked up a boat for a very good price because it had been flipped. The 2011 Suzuki 150 had been completely submerged. Today I started going over the motor, it would not turn over by ignition but I could jump the starter and to my surprise the starter worked. I wasn't surprised to find that it had no spark. I found an electrical box with fuses and solenoids that was very corroded and attached to masses of wires. When I looked on this site for parts I was surprised to see that it only went up to 2010. I figured 2010 parts would work so I looked at those parts and was even more surprised that many parts are obsolete. How can they be obsolete on such a new motor? I am now debating whether I should take the motor somewhere to get looked at, or if it being submerged is even worth it and just part it out. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Here is a link to the parts that I need at least from what ican see with my eyes that is damaged. http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Suzuki/Outboard/2010/DF150/HARNESS/parts.html
i need #8 wiring harness . And all the fuses,#13-17 this is what is really confusing, if I was to add up all the fuses it would cost $7000 just for the fuses, I don't understand how it can be that much.
 
This is the modern way.-------New 4 stroke motors run really nice when they run.-----They are expensive to maintain and repair.
 
It was under for a few hours. Was fogged like crazy when it got out and engine block is in good shape. It's a shame but with the fuses adding up to $7000 even if I bought this that might not even do the trick and would e a waste of money. I don't understand how a 30 amp fuse that looks exactly like a car fuse can be 600 each, I assume this has to be some sort of mistake on the parts website.
 
Contact ----------Browns point marine---------Possibly an 800 # for customer assistance there.----Suzuki experts I believe.
 
Yep its a typo, Browns Point Marine has those fuses and they are all under $6.00 a piece. On my Honda BF90 I just used the same blade type fuses at NAPA. A fuse is a fuse.

So I am the guy who has posted about my sunk DF250. I am in the same boat. I am planning on replacing the starter, wiring harness, I need all new controls since the motor is coming from another boat (I am having to buy a whole new set of controls). So long as I don't need an ECU I am needing about $2,000. For comfort I compeltely revived my sunk Honda BF90 and today it still works great.

That's very good to hear that is is a typo. I will have to contact browns point. Are the two relays also less than listed? Maybe I can possibly fix this engine with only the harness and some fuses which would be only about 600. I am confused that there at two harnesses. One says df150 and one says df150 model:08%. Does that mean 08 and above? What year is your df250?
