The problem with the severely pitted points is that it is harder to time the engine via setting the point gap. Otherwise; pitted points (Maker Points) seem to work OK even though they look terrible.
Where do you live where the insulator blocks cost $45.00? They are available on marine engine.com. If it turns out that you need a new stator and purchase the CDI one….they include the insulator blocks with the Stator.
