I did a Suzuki for my nephew years back.
He brought a box of parts to my 4th of July party and we semi drunkenly built a bike out of it.
The cylinder was oversized and tapered when we were finished(.010 over) but doing this on a lark out of a &50 assortment of semi matching parts we didn’t...
Check the bores to see if there egg shaped first. If not or even if they are but within spec check piston clearance.
If that all checks out a hone and new rings should be good for inshore work.
I use the bait blocks made for the big Tomcat bait box.
They have a hole in the middle and you can wire tie them where needed.
Started doing this to all my equipment after the little shitters built a nest in the air cleaner of my Kubota.
I hate meeses to peeces!

Put the battery in the bow and fuel forward.
I’m just over 300 with the same size boat and need to consider these things carefully.
I have mine balanced well enough that it runs fine with me solo or with the wife in front.
My hydrofoil is a big part of that but weight...
I told my wife I should keep my seats when I removed them and try and sell them.
She convinced me to take them with the scrap to the scrapyard.
Shipping would be a ***** anyway.
Looks like you did a nice neat job.
Machinist?
I can guarantee you one of two things will happen, it will work or it won’t.
Was going to say I have a spare power head if this doesn’t work, but Hanover is not as close as I thought.
Wondering about this.
“I know this won’t be the only thing as I’m noticing oil coming out of a few places and some dry rotted what I would assume seals.”
Where is the oil coming out from and what does it smell like?
I’d honestly give it a chance before rushing out and buying something else...
I keep a small fuel bottle handy to help diagnose issues like this.
Couple squirts of fuel will not only help you diagnose the issue, it will also help save your shoulder.
