Ever swap an OMC to Merc IO

Might go a different direction

Might go a different direction over the winter with my Carlson CVX-18. I might be able to get a nice used Mercruiser drive but if I took out my OMC it would leave a pretty large hole. Why am I even considering this? I might upgrade to a 300 horse engine and I understand the Merc drives ( I have to get the actual model of this one yet ) can handle more power than the OMC 800s and are a simpler design.
