I think the "all well" statement from the dealer is a CYA. You can argue all you want with that, but if you signed anything that has that phrase (or similar) on it, you probably nullified any recourse there. But- maybe the receipt paper trail would work for you if you went to court. Of course, they could always say, sure, but we fixed the problem and sent him on his way...
About the rest of it, sounds like a dud motor. Has it ever run well and normal? Has a compression check been done? If it passes, it might be some corroded electrical connections or something when you got flooded.
Man, that all bites. Good luck. Let us know what happens.
