I think there was a very short run of those monster Mercs, 3.4 liter. You will burn fuel like a space shuttle, even for an old 2smoke. Same deal with the old thirsty v8 omc's.

I wouldnt say all that. Parts are plentiful enough for those old v8 omc's. They are reliable, simple. Huge. Thirsssssssssssssssssssty, plus the oil to go with the gas.

I had one on a 25 Oceanic and it pushed the boat close to 48 on the GPS and mine even had power steering!
It took me everwhere and I mean everywhere..Bahamas at least 15 times Tortugas 3 times countless times to Elliot Key and the Florida Keys not to mentione all the local fishing and bar hopping outtings. It does like the gas but hey it's a V8 and it pushes a fairly large boat full of stuff and gas was 50 cents back then But for free you can buy a lot of gas with the savings
