i recently puchased a glastron ssv-177 and trailer for $200. the hull is in pretty good shape but the interior needs to be redone and it is missing the original volvo penta I/O, drive, and gimble housing. I picked up a pre-Alpha drive for a 228 hp v8 along with exhaust manifolds and some other cooling and electrical parts. will this motor fit in this boat? is the hull strong enough? and how much hp can i put in that boat with it still being safe. i know the original volvo penta came with around 115 hp but i wanted to go 250+ if i can. also is it possible to build a 350 and put on the bolt ons i bought on the motor and drop that in?
sorry i have so many questions, im new to the whole boat thing... i come from a car backround.
thanks for any help you guys can provide.
