Look at this page.
http://www.wellcraftv20.com/gallery/cat_1976/page7
Shows a 165hp I/O as max power. But twin 115hp outboards.
Entire 1976 catalog.

Just at a glance, it appears Mercrusier (Chevrolet engine) used an in-line 6, 165hp, 250CID, from 1970-1978.

From a owner of two line sixs they can be a great motor if taken care of but if its not properly drained the water jack that runs under the exhaust manifold WILL crack!! make sure you check this area really good .
