I, uhhh, bought a boat?

by

Hey guys, I picked up a project. She's a late 70's Tri-Sonic Riviera. Got an inline 6 mated to a mercruiser I/O.

That's all I know. Seriously, that's all I know about boats. So, here come the questions.
What's the difference between a marine engine and a non marine(?)?
How hard are engine swaps (I'm thinking EFI 4.3 v6)
It's not seen water in years, what do I need to test mechanically?
The interior is shot, so that's something to work on in my free time.

now for the pics:
