Ayuh,........... You're Here....... What do you need to Know,..??..??.....

We don't particularly Care about What Boat it's In,......
Just tell us Everything about the Engine,+ Drive you've got,.... Why it's Broke,+ How you're Fixing it.......
We'll do what we can from There............

And not all of them are the correct one for you. Matter of fact, the one you need #7 is not online at all.

#18 will Work for what you're wanting to do,.........

You've got Alot of Measuring,+ Mic-ing to see if your donor Block is In Spec for the Internals of the Boat motor.......

My Guess is the Pickup motor Bores are going to be Out of Round,+ Need Machining Anyways......
You might want to bring Both of them to a Machine Shop,+ Ask them to build 1 motor out of Both........
