Default re-powering

Hi, I have a 1973 23 foot CC I/O with a Mercruiser 165 hp 4 cylinder engine that is getting tired (second one), and am considering putting in a V8 of 250-280 HP for increased speed and effiency. Currently I cruise at 18-19 mph and 9-9.5 gph on Flowscan. I have an alpha one drive that is two years old that I would like to keep. Does anyone out there have any experience in this conversion or have any suggestions that would help me? Bob
