Found this as i was looking for the answer The 90 degree V6 crossfire outboard
The first V6 outboard was introduced in 1976. These engines were in production (with few changes) for 16 years (until 1992). The engine was basically a 90 degree crossflow V4 with two additional cylinders added to the top. Two separate 3-cylinder ignition systems were employed. The engines were available with three individual two barrel carburetors were never available with fuel injection and can be identified by the removable transfer port covers and deflector dome on the top of the pistons. They have been available in six different horsepower versions; 150,155,175, 185, 200, and 235
Well, the 235 hp in the later years has bigger pots.-----------There is a market for different hp motors.-----I believe factories build what people will buy !-------Economy of scale also comes into the picture !!
Just scroll back 2, 3, even 4 pages, and look for threads started by the OP. He has opened several posts pertaining to hopping up an 85hp. maybe he thinks the responses will be different this time
Jimmbo You DO NOT have to reply or read my posts.
Why do you think all me post relate to my build ?
Just because you have years of dealing with outboards you think you know everything about them and that i should not ask questions.
I will ask all questions that i need answered. You don't have to read nor reply.
