I'm quite famililar with the 4.3 , put alot of miles on one. Sandy, I had the same anti freeze issues with a couple of vehichles. bad product. I think the 4.3 is a very durable well made engine. (after all it's 3/4's of a small block Chev) Very reliable but never impressed me with it's fuel economy in a vehicle. I was wondering if it would be any better in a boat. Anybody have one in 20 Seacraft? What is your fuel burn?. I'm happy with 3.0 but lately I've heard a bunch of negatives about corrosion problems, manifold leakage. lack of durabilty pushing a 20' boat. I'd always heard good things.Just got me thinkin'. A good deal on a clean package adds to the thought process.
Entourage, whats your cruise and fuel burn at cruise?
