I have 2 Stingray boats. I recently bought a 2007 250CR with a 5.7-300hp and a Bravo 1. I also have a 2004 240CR with a 6.2-320hp and a Bravo 3.

My question would be can I simply swap these outdrives? I'd really like to have the Bravo 3 on my 2007 250CR. Its in a lot better shape than the 2004 with very low hours on the engine. 6.2 isnt in the best condition.

yes you can but depending on the drive ratio you may need to reprop. Best bet would be to see if the 2007 was offered with a 5.7 B3 and what ratio and what props it would have come with to get a good starting point. I would suspect a smaller boat with bigger engine would have a lower (numerically) gear ratio and or more prop pitch than would work in a bigger boat with smaller engine.
