Does anyone know what the original HP in 350 Mag sbc in 1987 Classic 18 "Limited Edition"? Does LE mean anything? I purchased the Donzi last year with a broken valve, running on 7, and replaced heads with 67cc Dart SR 1.50/1.94's over the winter and don't know what to expect in performance. (52mph on 7) Also, does anyone know what prop should be on this combination? Thanks, Bob

My 87 18c also had the 350mag. I believe it was rated at 270hp. I had a 23p mercury cleaver on it but switched to a 21p turbo. The turbo gave the boat a much better ride IMO. If I remember correctly my top speed was around 63mph.

I would say i would at least run a 23 p turbo 1,,best all around prop for that boat..As for le you already answered your ? limited edition which means they only made so many with the color you have and interior color combo..

My 87' 18 LE came with a 270HP SBC Merc and a 21 Cleaver. It now has a 468BBC and I'm running a 26 Cleaver and a SS Alpha Drive.
