My parents gave my wife and I their old '68 StarCraft Holiday 120 I/O that they purchased used in the early 70's. Problem is, it doesn't run...cracked block. I don't have much hope but I'll ask anyway...is it possible to find a new (not used) 120 or larger motor to fit the space available. The boat itself is in great condition overall and that's the only reason I'm considering putting a bunch of money into this classic boat. Thanks for all replies.

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,... Mercruiser still sells the 3.0l that is a drop-in replacement,...

3.0l long blocks are also available if yer accessories are salvageable,...

Nothin' bigger will work, without a Total refit,...
