Just head to the boat with 6 quarts of oil. and start checking after 4 quarts are added, and then if you need 5 after running and checking for leaks add until you are on the full mark. (Don't overfill) Save the rest of the oil in case you need it while out on the water.

I'm with Don on that one. Exactly how much new oil is needed, Depends on how good of a job you did of getting the old oil out. A spec will tell you how much a new engine holds. Follow Don's advice and you will be fine.
