I pulled my merc 165HP 4 cyl. It looks like a clean engine and already has the upgraded 4 inch cooling system. I cant decide if i want to go thru this one or buy the inline 6 from this man who says i can have the engine with about 100 hours on rebuild, the outdrive and all accessories for $800, located about 120 miles from me, or buy this donor boat with the 4.3 liter with everything for $2100 and i could put this motor in that boat and sell it! Open for suggestions. P.S. My boat is a 1987 21 ft. SeaRay Seville with cuddy cabin in excellent shape. How do i attach pictures?

Ayuh,.....

Either of those Donor drivelines will Work,.....

I guess it depends on How Much you want to Spend.....

The V6 would be more Vintage Specfic, the I6 was discontinued Long before the boat was built....
Not that that is a Bad thing...

How do i attach pictures?

Ayuh,.... Down in the Tech, Non-boating forum is a pinned thread that explains the process......

If it was me (and I have been there) I would put the 4.3 in it. You will be very happy with the results.
