Probably overkill, but I have thought about going with a small block and thru-hull exhaust.
I just purchased this 1980 Formula One boat. It has a 120HP Mercruiser and pre-alpha drive. The gelcoat is all original. The boat has lots of room in the cockpit due to the short bow. To me, its one...

I was actively looking for a Donzi back when I signed up on this site about 5 years ago. I found one (sweet 16) in Cocoa Beach, FL but the marina wanted $3000 (too much for it I thought so, anyway)...

I owned a '93 Scarab Sprint with the 140 (4 cylinder) Mercruiser and I re-powered it with the 4.3 V-6. I used the later vortec 4 bbl engine with balance shaft...a real sweet motor!

First, thank you all very much for the kind words!
The classic lines, deep V hull and retro blue gelcoat of this Pachanga appealed to me immediately and I was hooked (and filleted)....

Some of you may remember a blue 1970 Sea Ray Pachanga posted for sale on this site back in 2005. I purchased the boat and have just completed a re-power, replacing the six with a 327 V-8...
Yes, they did come with the Olds engine and Berkley Pack-a-jet, according to the original prochures which Sea Ray still has available for free download. Hard to believe the boat wasn't a good seller...
I purchased the boat that was posted for sale here and then on Ebay. The engine has water in oil and at the very least head gasket and raw water pump issues. Anyone priced used Mercruiser 165hps...
