20 Seafari I/O question

Hey guys. I have seen I/O 20 Seafaris powered with 140 Mercruisers which I assume is the 3 liter I-4 and even a 4.3 liter Mercruisers. What were the original engine and outdrive options? Thanks

From what I read, that Opti does. Like I said, it is not a "diesel" but a multi fuel engine that will run on diesel fuel among other things. It was apparently built for a contact for the Navy after...

The Tier 3 VW's run a 16.4-1 compression ratio. As for the 170 Yanmars, I see a hell of a lot of them still running after many years. There was a gringo owner in Mazatlan who ran a couple of old 29...

I would expect a bit more than a couple of hundred hours out of the VW's. The one thing that they have gong for them is a graphitic iron block like the Duramax engines. The base 2 liter VW only puts...

I had heard that low to mid 40's number for the 4.2 liter engine, but once again was not aware it included the beefed up Bravo drive which is a pretty big ticket item on its own. That is somewhat...

Interesting. That is less than I thought it would be if the price includes the outdrive. I thought that low $20K price was just for the "bobtail" engine. If the 230/260hp 3 liter V6 with the Bravo...
