#6's are north of 25g's and most dealers are north of 30 g's.

Mercruiser dealers can order them.

Any drive can be replaced by any other drive if the rigging is performed properly. Rigging may require the X dimension to be changed, positon of the engine in height and also maybe set forward or back. The transom holes may have be made larger or worst case scenerio, the transom plate may have to be completely filled in and recut.

Lots of work but very feasible.
