Default Re: 20' Repower Question

Quote:
Do you know if the weight of the larger engine caused problems with water in the scuppers? The V8 powered boat I'm looking at is a 20 Seafari.
On an originally equipped hull, should be no problems, as the deck height was adjusted on the V8 stern-drive models. on a re-power, that would depend on whether the deck was raised. The Mercruiser V8 small block complete set-ups were 835 to 940 lbs. I don't know if the deck height from original is sufficient.
