Re: Repower I/O Qs.
It all kinda depends. I don't know if a V-8 will just bolt into your current configuration. It might if the stringers are the same width. The V-8 motor mounts bolt into the top of the stringers. I wouldn't recommend going with a 4 cyl engine, you wouldn't like it too much I don't think. V-8's are the best way to go IMO. Now about 8 guys on here will tell you to put a bracket on it and slap an OB on there. Now, a new 200 hp OB will run somewhere in the $14,000 + range, new Mercruiser engine is about $5,000 and a brand new outdrive from Sterndrive Engineering is about $1200, you are way ahead with just repowering.
