Merc into Volvo won\'t go?

Just got back from the pub.We were putting the worlds to right when my mate announced he was thinking of buying a Sunseeker that has blown an engine.It is fitted with 2XVolvo 740(7.4ltr V8's) he wants to refit with Mercruiser 300HP diesels,problem is,is the transom shield bigger or smaller? Does he have to make hole bigger(not a problem)or fill some in(problem)Any one had dealings?Pauljseng -have you done this before?

Just got down to this thred, not heard of this before but sometime ago someone put mercs into a princess 33 on the thames, see a motorboats monthly last year, dont know which one , volvos out , mercs in, I think the transom had to be filled. but these were only straight sixes, 3.6 I think, Ive heard a bit about the bravo 3 legs blowing up recently,coupled to big Yanmars, THINK before you buy, infact buy a shaft drive boat.

Cheers,
Spoke to Dave today,he called the Mercruiser dealer,apparently the hole required is smaller for Merc,but they do an adaptor for £300.
This just for your info should you ever be asked.
