I just purchased a 1972 aristocraft 19, and the owner says the fellow
he bought it from put a 1985 mercruiser 165 hp
inline 6 4.1 litre in the boat. I thought mercruiser stopped using
that engine in 1976 or so.
Does anyone know where I can find out for sure?
Thanks!!!

Mercruiser had a 165 hp based on the 292 chev block. Then they went to
a 165 hp using the smaller chev 265 (?) block. They made a gazillion of
those.
