+1

Doesn't have to be a Mercruiser though.

Dealing with weight and balance issues,new motor mounts and not to mention, is your boat rated for a V-8???

Unless this boat has hard core sentimental value sell it and get one with a bigger engine...

You will need to change the gear ratio too for the V-8.
