OMC is the drive package....<br />It is most likely a 350 Chevy, however...<br />Post the serial # located on the engine...<br />Usually on a metal tag...<br />That will help with a specific ID ;) .....JK

alman,<br /><br />I think you'll find out you have what is known as an OMC Cobra SternDrive powered boat.<br /><br />Surf around here on these posts and you'll learn even faster than we can tell you,or answer your questions.I don't mean we don't want your questions,but look around a bit,and you'll see what I mean.Questions are always welcome,too.<br /><br />DHP

If you give Bayliner a call toll free at 877-861-6494, and have your Hull ID number. They can tell you what came with the boat when new.<br />They will also send you a copy of the owners manual for free.
