I am reconditioning an inboard engine SerA339144. dive me some info
Outboard means "outside", for example, an outboard motor as opposed to an inboard engine.
An outboard engine is an engine attached to the outside of a boat. An outboard engine is usually contained within its own casing. By contrast, an inboard engine is enclosed within the hull of the boat itself.
on my 1991 5.7 L mercruiser blue water the timing should be 8 degrees before top dead center.
To find the year model of a Mercury outboard, you need to know two things, the serial number, and the horsepower rating.

The horsepower for an Evinrude outboard, can be determined from the engine model number.
Inboard means that the engine is fixed inside the bottom of the boat. Outboard means the engine is fixed outside the boat, usually clamped to the stern, and can be tilted up in very shallow water, or removed from the boat when not in use for security.

The short answer is no. Boats are made with outboard, inboard-outboard, a hybrid using an inboard engine driving a stern mounted shaft that looks like the lower end of an outboard. Others use inboard engines, typically larger cruiser and specialty ski boats. Personal watercraft use a inboard engine powering a water jet pump. This jet drive system is also used in some boats. Most smaller boats are powered by outboards. New large outboards up to 400HP permit larger boats some over 30 ft long to be outboard powered. Most mid-size boats from 18-30 feet are powered by inboard-outboard systems to take advantage of larger automotive engines.
Yes, you can use a 305 engine on some boats however, you need to provide more info on the type of boat. Putting the engine on an inboard/outboard, style boat would not be difficult at all, as long as you already have a good lower unit, same goes for an inboard. An outboard, on the other hand will be difficult, if its even possible to run a horizontal engine vertically.
The point at which the horsepower measurement is taken. A 100hp outboard engine may only deliver 87 horsepower to the propeller due to losses in the transmission and bearings. The engine horsepower is 100, but the shaft horsepower rating is 87 horsepower.
To determine the age of a Mercury outboard, you will need to know the engine serial number, and the horsepower rating.
