Sorry for my boring posts about how good is this, is that anygood bla bla bla!

I should have probably put all my questions in one thread.

Ok So ive bought a 2003 Bayliner with a mercruiser 4.3L V6 engine with alpha one leg..
My previous engine was a Mercruiser 3L also with alpha 1 leg.

Are the 4.3L engines reliable? assuming it is in good condition, Will i notice the power difference from the 3L? I found the 3L very sluggish but super reliable... I can imagine maintenace is much the same. I am a little worried about having a V6 because there is more to go wrong but no job is too big for me to fix myself, im more thinking cost here!!!
