OK, will spare all the naughty details but I destroyed my engine and outdrive in my 1982 Grady White Tournament 224. Had the Mercruiser 3.7 485 in it. Yes I could replace it with the same setup which would be the easiest to do, but maybe not the smartest! I'm in all likelihood gonna go with a 5.0 or 5.7. Yes, I know what's involved! Boat weights in around 3600lbs. I'd like the 5.7(254 hrs '90) but can get a better deal on the 5.0 which has less hrs and is a bit younger. Not concerned with carrying heavy loads or pulling skiers or tubers but would like some good top end. I know they are both reliable! Which one! OPINIONS PLEASE!
