My $600.00 20' Seafari

[Terry England]

John, I think Gillie runs a Tower of Power Merc on his Seafari. He would have an idea about the performance. He's been thinking about a repower for some time though because he out running around in the Pacific where if something breaks you just might not end up on a nice sandy beach with coconut trees having Ginger and Mary-Ann fight'in over you!

Hmmm...Ginger or MaryAnn...umm yes please.
Oh Gilligan, be a good lad and bring us some more coconuts.

John, the 60 degree omc/brp 150/175 is a great choice at 365 lbs.
These eagle series motahs are very simple, strong, and thirsty.
The carbs do not have lo speed jets to clog, just air bleed jets which run off the main jets.
They were made to handle crap gas around the world. The fuel systems are almost all plastic and rubber so e 10 is to be avoided no matter who says what.

Ah, The Spurious Truth. Where 95 % of what I read is 5% accurate.
Amen on that.

The whacker of bushes is correct as usual. Avoid 97-99. They also had some early casting issues from 92-93. The design was beefed up in 94. If the early motahs have any hours on them you are probably fine. Most grenaded long ago if they were suspect.

So from 92- 96 john rudes or 2000 - 2005 brp Johnson carb motahs are a good choice.
Part out a motah for 2-3 k if you really sell everything. You should see the stupid prices for ficht bomb parts.

Also the carb motahs have great parts availability and the prices are good for boat parts.
They made a ton of these ocean pro/ocean runnners.
