Well they could inspect the parts first and have them tested before making a decision like that......forcing you to repower both engines.
I do have one question though......how long are you considering keeping this boat ?

Most big blocks were discontinued in 2009 however there are a lot of blocks still available in fact I suspect it will take a decade or more before they start to become rare. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2009/12/sa ... ck-engine/
