I ask as Ford just outsold GM as the #1 sales in the US. And there is a
stench on GM for bailouts, I have a fundimental issue with. That is, I
will not spend my money on a corporation that is in my pocket via
taxations.

So does Ford supply inboard motors to anyone?

I believe Ford got got out of the marine business long ago.
Mercuruiser used them on some of the models in the mid 70's but I take
it that GM made them a better offer on their power plants and Ford was
dropped.

OMC was the last to use them as I recall on the lowly 2.3 in their
runabouts. But there were several Ford big block 429-460 engines used
in jet boats. But that's played out by now, too.


I don't think you'll find a modern Ford engine used in any kind of
domestic marine application today, and that's sad, because they were
pretty good units, too!

No worries...Canuck isn't buying a boat.

You think!

Look for a picture in the next year or so. Maybe you don't have one or
paid too much? Hell, this is a good time, get the deals in the next
year or two.
