can you swap the coils and see if the spark moves?

Just wanted to inqure about my '87 Bayliner Capri.. This boat hasn't
been run in about a year and yesterday after replacing the fuel lines,
cleaning the fuel filter, adding fresh fuel and plugs I tried cranking
the engine. It would not even attempt to start so I then tested for
spark which I found only on the top two plugs. It looks like this
engine has separate coils for each plug is this correct? Anyone have
an idea what two new coils will run me?
