1. It's technically illegal to modify the Emissions or Horspower Footprint of an EPA rated engine.
2. Aside from that, to accomplish what you're entertaining, you would need to change (at least- depending on what 2007 you have):
-Block (or cylinder sleeves)
-Cylinder Heads
-Reeds
-Direct Injectors
-Fuel Rails
-PCM
-Air Compressor
-Multiple Air Lines
(just to name a few).
Although they "look" similar from the exterior, they are VERY different engines.

Hello,
I have the same question. Looking at a boat that this has supposedly been done on. How do I know if it has been done right? Especially for someone who does not have a ton of mechanical knowledge.

You will essentially have to rely an the reputation of the person you're getting it from, VISUALLY confirm via a parts list used, etc.
It's very unlikely that a seller is going to allow you to tear it all apart to "inspect"....

Thats a lot of $$$ for parts to spend for an upgrade. Just for grins I would ask him how much it cost them to upgrade.
