    Repowering from a AQ260 to a fuel injected 280?????

    I need a new engine for the boat, and found what seems to be a good deal on a newer fuel injected 280. Would this engine drop in? What would be involved in adapting this system to my 1979 SunRunner? Thanks for any advice you can offer. http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/nvn/boa/4705975508.html
