After some great advice on my 1993 VIP Vision with a Yamaha L4 3.0, I'm looking to swap out the engine with an equal Mercruiser. Can someone help me with some info on compatible Mercruisers for my swap search?

Ive found a Mercruiser 3.7 Liter big bore 4-cyl. 140 Engine not sure on year...

And Mercruiser 305 off a 1996 Celebrity boat.

Thanks again, ive read these previous posts, but still questioning the compatibility of different year makes and sizes of the Mercruisers with the boat/transom hole itself. Sorry for my ignorance if I'm asking repetitive questions. What year range is considered a "late" Volvo Penta?

Is there a certain year make Mercruiser that I need to seek out as the best replacement?

Yamaha copied Mercruiser, so the hole in the transom is the same. Volvo has same hole as well

Look for a post 92 mercruiser with alpha or volvo with sx drive
