    Need advice from experienced people.

    Lean mixture clogged carb passages Or incorrect ignition timing. Detonation will literally beat the pistons to death. That may be the pitting you see. Take the piston out see what skirt looks like What did the plugs look like ? Mat have over heated also

    Need advice from experienced people.

    I suspect you had detonation which destroyed the piston. head is not weldable. Cheapest option find a junk boat sitting in someones yard with a 2.5 or 3.0 and swap it over Vs half azz rebuild.

    Water in the drive shaft bellow

    Why don't you post some pictures of what you have so we can take a look. Inspect the bellows closely when they are on the boat they are tough to see the cracks. If your u joint is rusty you are likely getting water in there and into the boat that way.

    Equivalent year carb vs MPI is not 100% equal comparison. Once they came out with MPI they no longer made 4 bbl version of carbed motors. So comparing a utilitarian Mercarb or TKS 2 bbl version of an engine with MPI of the same engine which has a higher hp rating is not a fair rating of carb vs...

    There isnt one on an automotive carb…look at your old q jet you will find a nipple on there. On eddys it pressed into the cast at top if carb. Do yourself a favor and rebuild the q jet or get a marine carb.

    Take fuel line off carb, crank engine see if it pumps fuel into a container . Also agree from limited details sounds like you need a carb rebuild

    4.3 Carb v 4.3MPI

    excess gas is not vapor lock it means the bowl is emptying into the engine and it’s flooded , hence open throttle to let more air in. Vapor lock is gasoline in gas phase in fuel line so pump can’t pump it so carb doesn’t have excess gas it has no gas
