I'm sure you know, being a car guy, to replace all the vital fluids regardless of what the previous owner says. This way you know with certainty when it is time to change those fluids again. Be sure to change out the lube oil in the outdrive as well. Go by the manufacturers recommendation for that. After you run your outdrive in the water for the first time, check it again for water contamination. Sometimes old seals need to be replaced.

Six quarts over?....yikes! I bet you are right about gas, or possibly water, being down in the oil pan.
