What he said. Nothing against the 3.7L, and I think MERCRUISER screwed up by ditching it for the 4.3L V6. But I agree that your over complicating it many ways. Build the bottem end up, put a good head on it, call a good cam company and have them see if they can do a regrind to peak the engine for your application, and call it a day. Electric water pumps and other extravagant things on a boat are just head aches waiting to happen. Build the engine up, but keep it simple.
