Hyper........
You are not going to want to here this,but.........
You have NO idea the problems you are going to see with this project !!!!!
Then....If & when you get it to work..You will have 0 resale on that boat !!!
Why not do some mild mods to that v6 ? Vortec heads, Cam ?
Save the big bucks for something built for a V8.......
Not trying to bust youre bubble guy....Just...Been there..Done that

Should be able to find a Vortec in a junk yard....Lotsa of them out there......
Tear it down and start from there.......Rods,Pistons,valves =
Small block chev parts......Buy Dennis Moores book for good

You will still have to do some research.......Just easier than a
swap !!!
Lots of power to be found in those vortechs !!!
You don't need a ton of torque in that light boat...Them V6s
love to rev !!!!

Whatever you plan on spending, multiply it by two.
As for inconnel valves..........I do not think they make them for Small blocks
If you want a good valve, I would recommend Manley Severe Duty. However, I have also used competition products severe Duty valves. They are about 1/2 the price, and I had almost 400 hours on them, and I'm running a lot more cam & spring than you'll be. At my rebuild, I just touuched them up and put them back in. I'm running around a .600 in lift, solid roller. My springs are 200-210 on the seat & over 500 lb open.
Do a little homework while it's still cold out :-)

Hyper you can use PVC to make the hoses that are bent. The black stuff is better to use if you can find it.

Man, you are starting to talk about some serious cashola Hyper. You may want to take a hard look at getting a differ boat that will be more economical. Remember, resale is something you need to consider if you are going to start fabricating. Either way, have fun. Just remember, if you think you are going to spend 5K, better plan on atleast 6, if not alot more. You just nickle and dime yourself to death when you start getting into these projects. That is why I think you may want to go with a boat that has a little better track record with anything 350hp or so. Hate to see you sink all this dough and have a boat that won't let you run the power you have spent so much $$ to put in it. Odds are it would work out fine, but you never know. Food for thought.
