This 357 is a Mercury motor, not a secondary builder. Hot run test, 2 year warranty, etc.
As far as the drive ratio, I would spring the bucks to change to the 1.47 ratio. You could diddle with the prop but it would be a compromise situation.
Buy the way it was a quick Drop in install.

Thanks for the feedback Bobbert. After a lot of back and forth I went with the MPI motor although I think I would have been happy with the carb too. Did you use riser extensions on your motor exhaust? I am wondering because we couldn't order extensions for my new engine and it will be about 16.5" above water line I think. My current engine is around 18" and the new one is 1.5" lower on the risers.
