Thank you all for your prompt responses to my last inquiry. <br /><br />I bought the 280C drive. gear ratio is 1:98-1<br /><br />Next query. <br />Two boats. 21' bayliner with OMC 140 4 cyl.<br /><br /> 24' bayliner with penta 225D 305<br /><br />I have a chance to buy an OMC 350. I would like to put the 350 in the 24' and put the 305 in the 21' boat and sell the 4 cyl.<br /><br />I have been told that the 305 and the 350 are the same block. Is this true?<br /><br />Can I swap the marine components from one to the other and expect each engine to fit where I want it to?<br /><br /> A friend said if the bell housings are the same it should be able to be managed somehow.<br /><br />PS my friend knows nothing about boats.<br /><br />Doug
