That looks like a mercruiser 888, its a 302, with 351 heads and camshaft(fires like a 351 also), they were a decent engine set up in their day, rated at 188 hp. They would fit in a narrow engien compartment. But as in any older I/O setup, be prepared for anything, there is no telling what has been doen or what is needing to be done. Make sure you have a quilified tech check it out. As far as that boat goes with an I/O, most people I know that have run those as an I/O and as an OB conversion, liked the I/O better(as far as ride goes). Albemarl uses the same hull and sets it up with a jackshaft I/O to get even more weight forward. See if you can get any other info. Take some pics of the drive, up close
