Don't do it. I have malibu 185 with inboard and went down road before. Rebuild motor. I have the 3.0L in mine. If you really love boat you can pod it but I don't think it is worth it. My opinion of running the boat. Some boats I would pod but not mine. If you are looking for a change rebuild and sell it. Right now that boat would fetch good money then get boat you want with out board or podded already.
