Unbolt everything and replace it with a Mercruiser. You can still use the same wiring harness and controls. Have done many, not hard at all.

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,.... I agree with Capt. Ken,....

Find a rotten boat with a good runnin' motor, 'n the drive of yer choice,...
Buy it, 'n junk it out,... You'll have All the pieces...

The swap is pretty much plug, 'n play...

I've heard that it was an easy swap but wanted to hear it from a reputable source.
Thanks, Will do, Capt Ken.

That junk boat idea doesn't always work out. Usually if the boat is junk, the rest of it is junk also. Then you have the disposial of the old hull. Now those are getting hard to get rid of now a days. Had one last month that I stripped out for the Yamaha parts. Put it on Craigslist as free. Had to deliver it to the guy's house 50 miles away, chain it to a tree and drag it off my trailer.
