Thanks for the good advice. I may have some more questions for you when I start installing outdrive and engine.

There's some info on the Mercruiser web site saying the 2011 regs apply to new boats, not repowering boats manufactured before 2010. As of last February, they were still offering a carbed 5.7 crate engine at 325 HP as a repower option. Not a complete drop-in, just engine, ignition system, and fuel system.

Don't know if it's still available.
