Didn't they run Johnnyrudes? I would think a 115HPV4 for something in the 18' range.

One of the big three back then ----Either a Merc, an OMC, or a Chrysler--depending upon which dealer you bought it from.

Mine is a 1978 SSV-188 and it has a Johnson. I have also seen old sales brochures from that era that showed Merc's in the photos. I am guessing buyers had a choice back then.
