I am looking at a Cruisers Inc 32' express. It has twin 350 chevy
engines. One engine is new and the other has 1000 hours. The boat itself

1000 hrs isn't a lot of run time but being a '89 there maybe issues with
block rust out if it is raw water cooled and has been used in salt water.

From my experience with very early Chev. to Marine convertions, the crank
marine versions had fordged cranks and the cams were for solid lifters
rather than hydraulic.

If I were you, I would run it with the engines as-is until the old engine
requires replacement. By then I think you will agree that it is best to stay
with the original size since everything will be interchangeable between old
and new.
