Boat question

My sister's boyfriend recently inherited a boat that needs a carburator. Having not actually seen the boat, here's what I was told
1. the engine is a 351 windsor
2. supposedly it's a 1979 model

What I would like to know is if a standard carb would work on it, or if it's going to need some kind of special one.

This may seem like a stupid question to the more enlightened, but I would appreciate the help.

You want a marine carb. It has better vapor control, and won't corrode and seize up as easily.
