165 mercruiser motor needed

[throwback]

Did not know the 292 was taller bolted mine up to the old drive never has been a problem but I run the boat easy. Used an osco manafold think its on the 7th season pulled it a couple of seasons ago flushed it and soaked it in maratic acid for a bit. only problem I ever had was to rethread the drain plug salt got to it. Boat does not run fast but lots of omph out of the hole
