    Located my old family’s boat one week too late

    nothing like boats from our child hoods. maybe the new owner has buyers remorse and you can chase it down

    No Redline

    you have to get the engine manuals from Mercruiser. http://publications.brunswick.com/ regarding your motor, 4600-4800 RPM. However I would not have a problem turning that motor 5000 RPM

    1988 bayliner engine swap

    you still need a drive. the 2.3 liter has the wrong gearing for a 5.0. plus you need the correct transom assembly. you need to change everything from the front pulley to the propeller

    you may want to check closer. I have never found a boat with a 2.3 that didnt have rot issues. No-one lets a good boat sit

    1988 bayliner engine swap

    yes, however you would need a complete 5.0, and appropriate drive to replace everything pulley to prop. the 2.3 was used almost 40 years ago. is the boat structurally sound enough for a repower?

    popping is running lean. its called a lean sneeze. did you remove the carburetor and go thru it? sounds like the accelerator pump circuit is clogged.
