Well when I was in the Keys all I saw were 25 MAKO's everywhere. back in the 90's. That was when Ihad my 25' Twin NOVA was into deep sea. Brought my 19' Wellcraft down from Michigan & ran all over the Keys one winter.


I was thinking the same thing SBC or a little diesel. My new fuel tank is under there. Deff dont want to pull it out if we dont need to. Nice stainless certified tank. I think the 165 is pretty dependable & want to keep it the way she is. seems like she is happy with the I/O Outdrive has already been done.
