Re: lower unit on 260 merc
I agree. I believe MJ removed a 4 cyl. from his boat, however you have a 260 hp/350 c.i engine that is probably better on fuel than an 1989 175 hp yamaha and still have a full transom. There are plenty of used and reconditioned Mercruiser parts available. I've owned two V-20's and I left the engines just where Wellcraft originally put them. Just one guy's opinion. It's personal preference. One thing MJ, you're comparing new Mercruiser parts, however your project was done using used or reconditioned parts.
