Nice boat! I have an 88 with the same motor. You will want to keep an eye on coolant loss and overheating . These engines have camshaft seals problems. When the first seal goes the coolant drips out of a weep hole below the front of the camshaft. When the second goes the coolant gets into your oil. You might want to add a 4” heat exchanger if yours still has the 3”. Also, most owners ditch the problematic stator and put in an alternator. All that being said, I love mine. Great torque and fuel economy. Mine is the 165hp version and will go mid to upper 30’s. I just had the camshaft seals replaced as well as an electronic ignition added on. Hoping to get out on Wednesday to see how she performs. Enjoy!
