Re: re-powering
The transom cut-out is the same. Engine mounts may have to be fabricated, though. Not a big deal. The current Mercruiser/Cummins or larger (240 hp & up) Mercruiser/Yanmar combo's are supposed to be "bolt in" replacements. (Just for the record, though, there really ain't no such thing.)
Volvo Penta has 16 different diesel sterndrives ranging from 130 to 350 hp, and ranging from $18.7K to $33.4K
For Mercruiser package prices look here:
