I have a 19 Ft Glasply that I am trying to decide what to do with. I am budgeting out the entire project before going into it. I will be replacing the Transom and probably stringers. Currently it has a seized Aq171C in it with a VP280 outdrive. I was offered what I believe is an Aq145 with a 280 as well by my wife's Uncle. Obviously repowering with another rare motor is probably not the best choice but I believe it had been rebuilt for about 5K by the person in the family that owned prior to the Wifes uncle buying it. Can the AQ145 Block bolt to the same mounts as the 171? I believe they use the same block. Should I change over the full outdrive as well if I put in the AQ145?
