...Any diesel engine around 200 HP will do it. However, a pair of Cummins are easier to get rebuilt. You can find spares for these engines even probably in Walgreen

Advise getting a few very thorough quotes from good shops. It may well be a better plan to get a different boat. A rough rule of thumb is that the labor and prep for making the switch is 50-100% ofthe price of the engines/transmissions, depending on the boat and how much modification is needed.
It's an old Cummins V8, 555 cubic inch, with a turbo. 90deg vee block, 4valve heads, pressure/time (PT) unit injectors. Nickname is triple nickel. Similar in design to V504, 785, 903, etc. Made mostly in 60's, 70's, into the 80's. Parts are getting hard to get on these.
