@Christopher H , my guess that is a mid 70's boat. Cruisers uses a lot of Balsa as core material (they still do). expect a bit of work on the hull
if those numbers are correct, you need a rebuild
new compression numbers are 150 psi. 130 psi and the motor is getting tired and will be down on power, 100 psi and it probably wont start
for DP drives - the ratio is as follows
2.15:1 are for V6's
1.95:1 are for small block V8's (you can also run a BBC on these)
1.78:1 are for diesels and BBC's
it is more efficient to run the correct gear ratio than to try to make up with prop changes

you can build a cradle between your trailer frame and hull if you need additional support.
my guess is it wasnt winterized properly.

Your friend doesnt know what he is talking about
Did you swap head gaskets to marine? Core plugs to brass or stainless, and switch to a marine circulation pump?
350 with vortec heads and stock truck/van cam is about 280hp. (260hp at prop) cam is almost identical to marine cam. Not sure where...
