Those Mercruiser Chevy 350's with 4 bolt mains are nearly bulletproof if you take care of them and it sounds like you do. It's your boat, do what you want but I don't think you need to repower it. JMHO.

Yes maybe I am a little to critical but its my nature.I am a FAA licensed aircraft mechanic.I am going to run the boat some more and see how it acts before I take out any guests.
And not like I want to spend the money but this boat will fly with a new Mag 350 OOOps there is that darn speed limit.
