I have a 2002 Glastron GX205. It has the 305 with a 2 barrel Holley, with the SX outdrive. Its been a good boat, I like the hull and set up. I have had it since 2004, it runs PERFECT and has 400 hours on it. However, I want/need more power. I would like to swap in a 350 motor. I am OK with it being carbureted.

I believe the SX will handle the swap no problem.

I am just looking for a preferred 350 motor, vortec heads, ect, ect. Any and all info would be great..

build a stroker, either a 377 or 383 and you will be giddy with power

Ayuh,.... At a minimum, you can long block yer motor with a reman 350, 'n add a 4bbl carb,....

I like Scott's idea Better,....
Look into the GM HT-383,.... available over the counter from yer local GM Dealer,...
You'll, Never wipe the smile off yer face,.... ;)
