Hello fellow Boater,
I wanted to see if someone could help me out here. I'm going to start my first boat restoration (replacing the floor and vinyl) starting this year in hope to have it done by spring of next year. I have been reading a lot of post here and got a good I idea of what needs to be done on my 88 Sea Ray Seville 20” yes it’s an older boat, but got it for a steel. Motors in great shape so is the trailer.
Well my question is…. I’m at a lost to what size motor I really have. My title says 225 HP but referencing my valve cover stickers on the motor they pointing to a 175HP. Are there any other marking I could find to tell me what size I have?
Thanks for the Help
