Engine Swap. Will this be easy?? 88 -to 150 Evinrudes

[IL GLASTRON]

I am swapping motors. Here is the specs..<br /><br />CURRENT:<br />1995 17' Glastron <br />1995 88 HP Evinrude SPL<br />Boat is rated for 150hp<br /><br />I am looking to put on the following motor:<br />Late 80's 150 Evinrude<br />20" shaft<br /><br />What can I expect to be in for the project, here are my questions:<br />- Will it bolt up to the same holes on the boat?<br />- Any chance this will be 'plug n play' w/ the boats wire harness? (look to be the same style)<br />- Any other "watch-outs" to be aware of?<br /><br />See photos below for reference- <br /><br />Any thought / suggestions would be greatly accepted!<br /><br />Current motor / Boat:<br />

<br />

The pic is kinda dark but is that a 25" 150?

Shaft length is 20" on the 150 <br />I measured my 88 and it appears to be about the same length.

OK, cool. It's a direct swap. same steering, same throttle / shift cables, same wiring harness. Just make darn sure the fuel line is 3/8" ID, not OD. Not 5/16" ID - 3/8" ID.<br /><br />Anything wrong with the 88?
