Re: horsepower rating for omc 5 liter 4 barrel
Drisky, welcome to iboats. Your engine is most likely a 305 chebby, that came with a 2 bbl carb and was rated at 198 hp. I believe that the 4 bbl was added. You want to make sure it is a 'marine' carb for safety sake. Alot of unknowing people have used automotive parts without understanding marine safety issues. You should also post this question in the I/O forum up in the top section for verification. There is a lot of Knowledge up there.
Mechanicals in the marine industry were not boat brand specific. You could have 20 brands of one model year that had the same config as you have.
This forum, here, is best suited for general brand interest. Please post some pictures and anything you know about your boats history.
What area do you live in? Your boat was made in Salem Oregon. They are no longer in business.
