The 470 would not be my first choice. I'd be looking for a different engine, maybe a 153 chevy. What engine was in there that's blown?

No such thing as a Wellcraft Bayliner.
I think in 99 Wellcraft and Bayliner were using Mercruiser.
The 470 is a unique motor only made a few years and used it's own exhaust system and cooling.

The Volvo 4cyl. in 99 came with a Chevy block.
The Mercruiser and OMC used the same 4 cyl.

How about some pics of the drive and the motor.
Pics of the Wellcraftbayliner too.
