Good road trip, nasty boat

So I went to Jacksonville and looked at the 22. I have to say, and I'm trying to be nice, but that was one of the worst looking 22's I've ever seen. It's just been used hard and not well maintained. I took a friend with me so the trip wasn't a complete waste.
On the other side of things I've decided to go forward with the 377. That will let me enjoy the 18 until I decide what to do on a 22 and I have to put a motor in it so it may as well be something I'll enjoy. The 18 is a nice boat and when it goes it will make a great boat for someone else. I'll post what the plans are for the motor as we get the list of parts together.
Stock Crank & Rods = 350ish cube engine?

Hi Chip,
Are you rebuilding your existing short block and buying new heads or are you buying a stroker long block or other?
I'm assuming that cam is a roller with that much lift.
Have you pick heads, intake, or any other parts yet?
Do you have a plans for exhaust upgrade?
The last 350 marine engine I built was for my 20' minx. I rebuilt the 270hp mag into a 320hp tempest. That engine had a flat tappet cam.
