Lol so the 200hp sitting in my garage will be even more thirsty then
In all honest I prefer the ease of build and self repair as opposed to paying crazy dealer prices when they go wrong,
That little extra bit of fuel is worth it to me

Talk about falling in a bucket of poo and coming out like a mars bar,,


Osprey Mr Mike, has just confirmed my boats history supplied as a 6.4 mtr with a twin engine set up, few years later transom modified by Mike and Ralph,to take a single engine


It's a 6.2 / 6.4 they was never that fussy in the early years with exact measurements, kin result !
