Sea Ray Monaco 185/187 with factory v8 or (3.7 swap to v8)

[half_wolf]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone out there had a 1984-87 or so Sea Ray Monaco 187 with a factory v8 instead of the 3.7/470. I wanted to see a picture of the engine mounts/configuration to see what might be involved in swapping my 3.7 for a 5.0 or 5.7.

I would like a more reliable and more powerful engine than the one i have.

Thanks,

I have the exact boat that you are asking about. It is a 1984 Sea Ray Monaco 187 with a 5.0 (mercuriser 898). The engine is rated at 198 horse and I have enough power to do anything I have tried. I will get pictures in the next few days of the engine mounts.
