I have a 1977 24' searay weekender with a chevy 305 (mercruiser 228 hp) That took a dump. The cam lost a few lobes and soft metal went through the bearings and all. This motor struggled a bit to get on plane. Should i rebuild this one? Should it have enough power for that boat? Or, Is this the time to replace it with a chevy 350 for more hp? and most important, can I use a motor that is from the mid 90's? (found one on line). What year engine should I be looking for?
I have a friend that has two chevy 350 marine motors that came out of a larger boat from the mid 70's. They are a pair of inboard motors one is right hand the other is left hand but will need rebuilding. Not sure I want to use the proper one.
Have you all got any info you can help me with?
