I am watching a couple of moto

I am watching a couple of motors on auction. One is an aq125 and the other is an aq171. They both look rather similar to my 151. What is the power of these motors and would they bolt right up to my 270 drive? Thanks. I am also considering removing my engine and adapting to outboard power. Any opinions on this?

"The AQ171 is DOHC (dual overhead cam) 16 valve head, rated 167 HP, and the AQ125B is rated 120HP at the flywheel.

"I was contemplating removing my 18.5 Malibu's AQ151, covering the hole and having a pod added to the transom after it was modified. I was going to buy a 150hp 4-stroke Yammy. After all was said and done, it would have cost in the neighborhood of $25Gs. Lots of pluses in doing this but that is a hefty cost.
