I own a 1979 Wellcraft Elite 185 ski boat. Many years back the engine seized and I had it taken out for repair but I no longer have the engine. I have read multiple posts about how bad the Mercrusier 4 cylinder 470 Series engine was so I figure I don't want another one like it. When I get home from deployment, I would like to fix the boat and get it back in the water. Can someone please recommend a four cylinder engine that I can use in its place? One that the motor mounts are the same if that is possible? I would appreciate any help with this issue since I am a novice at boating. I would like to buy a refurbished engine. I do still have the outdrive. Thank you.
