It varied over the years...but if the literature from the factory says the '78 was 240 max, you can count on it...but look closely...is that I/O rating or OB rating?...I do recall it being > 200 for OB some years...

Like said in another recent post..if you're repowering, look closely at the transom...it may be RATED from the factory for 200+ HP, but that was long ago before time and water worked their dastardly deeds on the inner core...
