New here trying to fix up a boat with a blown motor. I currently have a 232 Baja boss with manual controls and I found a deal on a 496 on Facebook and wanted to see if it was feasible to convert it over? I have the mechanical knowledge just needing a little bit of input.

thanks for that. Will I need to reprogram the ecm? Or will it be fine?

I would say yes, reprogram

Might also look into the cost of digital throttle control and cable
