OK, so via word of mouth, I found a donor boat about 40 mi away thats
an 18' celebrity. It can be had cheap . It was a really nice boat but
due to letting it sit outside for the last 5 years, for all practical
purposes ithe boat is trash., I'm not sure if it's a 3.0 or a v-6 GM.
My friends is a 350 GM, and I've heard that the 3.0 outdrives were
different than the V 6 and 8 model engines.

with exception of gear ratio's, which I can see compensating for with
different props. is there anything different between the Cobra
outdrives on the little 4 cyl and the larger V's that you couldn't
interchange with just a simple swap?

Thanks!
