Hello Mariahs Club! I am very excited about my new 2000 Mariah Jubilee 244 purchase. I would like to get her on the lake as soon as possible. To do so, I need to locate a used (not fuel injected) long block or turn key ready engine (preferably near Minnesota) that fits my Bravo 3 Drive. I'm looking for the 5.7L 350 GM in the 250 - 350 HP range. Any suggestions or guidance will be help immensely.

Any 5.7 in that HP range should bolt up. If it does not you can swap the coupler. The price for a decent longblock on eBay is not bad considering what you are getting. The mercruiser guy I know buys the reman longblocks and cant beat the price by building one and putting it together himself. With the ability to pull the motor one could do the swap in a day.

I know there is a decent movement with the LS motors in boats. That would not be the most affordable but it would be bad ass...
