Some thoughts, but no conclusions:

My original decal on my last Seafari (1972 O/B model) clearly said Max HP = 240. Not 175. And it was built at a time when the most powerful outboards you could buy were the V4 125 hp Johnnyrude or I6 115 hp Mercury.

The transom cutout on my 1st Seafari, a 1973 model, was clearly made for twin outboards, as well.

I rigged a new 1984 factory custom-built 20 SF which was factory placarded for 250 hp back in '84, and we rigged a Bridgeport Mercury on it, rated at 240 hp.

I have nothing to go by- I can't read my sticker- all I have are the PDFs available here. So I could very well be wrong.
