The original 350q's have given up the ghost and I need to repower. The beauty of this boat is that the engines fit under the deck without any engine boxes, so unlike a bertram 28, it has a really nice big flat cockpit. But there is barely any clearance with the 350Qs. So I am trying to find a modern engine (fuel-injected or diesel) that would fit without requiring the deck to be raised. I believe the 350qs are pretty compact, I think 18 5/8" above the crank shaft. Does anyone know of anyone who has repowered a 28 SE, or have any bright ideas? Or should I resign myself to installing engine boxes?

My boat’s performance is not what I believe it could be. They stuck with 1:1 transmissions and small props, so it tops out around 25 knots and 1 mpg. One good thing they did was put in a single 150 gallon fuel tank.
