I'm looking at two boats, same model and both 1998 19' Seabird.
How much difference would I notice between the two horsepower wise?
The 130hp revs way up when started but I'm good at cleaning and adjusting carbs, hopefully that's all that's needed.
The 130 is real close and 1500 cheaper.

If the 150 checks out good I'd go with that.

OMC They made two types of 150 V6 engines that year: the carb version and the direct inject Ficht. If the V6 engine is a carb version, opt for the V6. If the V6 engine is a Ficht, stick with the V4 looper.

Agree on that one. Stay away from the Ficht.
