Is this for a SeaCraft 23? I have a decent shaped dog box from a 76 20. Measures 37" at floor but does not appear difficult to add 3" ...

My stock box fits a 350 just fine and it is ~38" from the aft bulkhead and probably 48-50" from the stern (depending on where you measure). There is enough room to have batteries in front of the motor too and I even have a crankshaft mounted waterpump for a Bravo. I understand if someone shrunk the box a whole lot it would be a problem, but nothing else would fit there except a V6 (not a bad option w gen 5 motors), so it seems odd that your box wont fit w a 350. Maybe remeasure and take a closer look? Just a thought.
