Thanks for the welcome, and your input.
I bought one of each, a 3.0 and a 3.7. The 3.7 is an '89 165hp and runs like a brand new motor. I'm swinging it into my '78 V20 Cuddy, and will keep the 3.0 as a backup motor. The 3.7 is currently in a 17' Larson All American, and pushed it to 47mph (GPS) on a mirror calm lake a couple of days ago.
