    once you have the drive off, the clamp ring is around the PDS housing sticking thru the transom. the front lag bolts should go into a big block of wood and fiberglass mounting to the stringers and the hull.

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    you take the drive off you then unclamp the PDS (6 bolts), and take 3 of the bolts to jack the clamp ring off you then disconnect everything inside the boat, undo the front mount lag bolts and lift up and pull forward. your boat can not be in the water to do so

    Boat not as fast as expected?

    you want to go faster, you need more power. as indicated above, with your 1983 motor that is your crank rating. your boat should be rated at 150hp. how fast do you want to go?
