Pretty happy about my recent buy, 1988 invader 17' bowrider with a 3.0 mercruiser (130 hp).

What is the difference between a mercruiser 130 and 140? I can I swap a carb and gain 10 hp?

Either way excited to get out on the lake and do some skiing. This was the best deal I could find out there with a 3.0 L, $1500 with all the canvas and only needs bellows and a shift cable which I will do this weekend.

The gas gauge is also broken, and at first glance it looks like the tank is at the bottom of hull, correct?

I'll post more pics when in the water.
