The 3.0 liters are notorios for the intake/exhaust manifold to crack internally and spill water in the engine. Upon next start up, take the spark plugs out and turn her over and make sure you dont have water in one or more of the cylinders. You say that after you get her running that she starts fine after that, so please check this first. Also in my opinion,Merc starters hands down are the only way to go, the others are nothing but trouble.
