First off thank you for this forum, there has been so many threads I have read to be able to get info on my boat. On the flip side being new to the boating scene I have learned some info on the engine that is in my boat.
(the dreaded 470,165 inline 4cyl w/self contained cooling system) This website has now scared the beejesus out of me and I would like to do an engine swap. My question being; what engines are suitable for this boat (18ft open bow) what engines will bolt up to my alpha one outdrive and is this a normal practice on boats? I have worked on cars for years and engine swaps from car to car is pretty common. Thank you in advance for the info look forward to hearing from you!
