Tell me more About my New (to me) motor

[THEFERMANATOR]

I would double check the year as that one looks more like a 76 than an 86 to me. It has the old style switch box on the side of it, the 70's decals, and the mid 70's coils on it. They are good engines, but THIRSTY! Also that engine is maybe 150 at the prop if your lucky. The flat exhaust chested V6 cross flows later on became 150's, and the bubble backs became 175's when they went to propshaft ratings. And if your goign to use it in saltwater, you will need to add zincs to the engine. OMC didn't start putting zincs on until the 80's. I have an 80 and an 81 JOHNSON's outside, and neither one came with the 1st zinc on it from the factory.

Bradford is Right, it is a 20

I guess ill redo the head gasket on my Force 150 and try to get this season out of it. Whats the value on this motor?

[THEFERMANATOR]

Is your current engine a 20 or 25? As to it's value, not very much unless you find the right buyer who wants it.

[NJIslandGirl]

My current Engine is a 25, and the boat has a 25 transom on it.

200 seahorse was on my dads v20 i fished as a kid. One of There selling feature was a twin power pack system, one for each bank. So if one went bad you could run with the other bank. Atleast thats what i was told. Our 200 was amaxing reliable but as stated she is thirsty!!!! Plenty of power there!
