You convince my wife and I'll do it!! I need something more close to stock or just a bit more hp but still bolt up to stock accessories etc

Would a stock gm vortec (car/truck) engine work?

[beat taco]

Yes that's what they are. You just put brass freeze plugs in them. If I was really looking for more realistic hp I would upgrade the heads, you could have a sweet little motor if you want to play with it. But a stock bottom end will be plenty.

So maybe a performance upgrade from summit maybe? I read something about the cams being different is that the case?

Don't bother upgrading, not worth the $$$, just upgrade the prop. I probably run more ballast then you and no issues. Acme 1433 baby..

Been a while but I think it's just a rv cam.

You know some cracked blocks can be repaired.

boats certainly are not like cars in that they don't have the same aftermarket support to facilitate upgrades. I would not want to take the chance upgrading the block and hoping the ecu can figure out what you have done. if it was my boat, I'd follow parrot and rebuild to factory specs with a different prop if you need it.

good luck either way....
