2006 Mastercraft 6.0 engine... what to do?

WDKinley

I have a friend in this situation... he has a 6.0 indmar cadillac 385hp engine/trans/wiring out of a 2006 Prostar sitting on the shelf. Boat is irreparable but have all the interior, gauges, etc.

What would you do with it? I dream of doing a 90-94 prostar swap. Strip it down and run a 2400 lb boat with 385 hp! 6.2 lb/hp vs a new prostar with the big engine at 7.3 lb/hp

Problem 1: it looks like a zero off swap on a 6.0 is virtually impossible

Problem 2: spray at -35 headwind is apparently intolerable on this generation of 190? I've just scratched the surface of reading about trim tab install to knock down spray vs a bondo "hook" on the bottom of the hull.

Thoughts???

PP with Zbox is an option if you can't fit ZO, it's not like it's going into a current tournament approved boat so the pull and wakes will be different anyway.

I'd do it though, I've got a 380hp in my 96 205 and holeshot is a socket wrencher, but I haven't changed the prop
