I'm image_214571.jpg pretty sure this is a 1969 and it is 23 feet long. It has a 350 in it. What is this I'll Drive and can I swap it for something more modern?

First, welcome to iboats. Second, a picture of the drive would really help. Maybe two!

It looks like a mercruiser type 1. If you could find the engine serial number we could maybe narrow it down a little better. It should be on a metal tag attached to the starboard side of the engine bell housing.
The Alpha ! drives are a direct bolt up to your bell housing. But it looks like your bell housing has extensive corrosion damage, and it is different from the alphas.
