Default converting to SBC

i have a I-6 in my boat and it has developed a very loud knock in the bottom end. i have had troubles with the performance all summer so i was looking at putting in a 350. my question... i have a pre-alpha, will an alpha 1 exhaust pipe fit? or is there a V8 tube to fit from another model?
thanks
brian

Run through hull exhaust and you will not have to worry about it

joe,
thanks for that. it gives me the option.
but, i was also thinking of what BIGJIM mentioned.
question though, is the through hull cooled? need marine manifolds, or would modified headers work? have not experienced it first hand before, thus the questions.
thanks again
brian
