Dave, if you were considering repowering a boat currently powered by a 5.7L
Mercruise, with Alpha 1 outdrive, what engine(s) would you consider?

That depends.

Are you repowering to replace a clapped out engine, or are you simply
"upgrading"?

I would replace what was there with a similar replacement, that way
there's a minimum of hassles, and potential incompatibilities.

If upgrading, remember that the Alpha 1 drive is not rated for more
than 300 HP, so unless you were upgrading to Bravo drives too, I'd
stay below 300 HP.
