Re: Inline 6
and to top it off, aristocrafts don't have stringers....
generally speaking i believe aristocrafts had a max uscg hp rating of 165. though i believe i've seen one with a 470 in it which might have been 170hp.
so what wrong with the L6? mine gets up and goes. i blow both my buddies away for hole shot. and they got 190 and 220hp in newer boats. not sure i'd wanna go much faster than the 42mph gps i do anyways. yer holding on pretty good at that speed already in our hull designs...
so what color ya got?
i believe aristocraft nineteens were made from 69-79 (maybe some early 80's sales), eighteens from 67-68, and funliners before that (could be off a year or two in any direction)... if it's after 72 it'll have a hin on it. mines located above the drive molded into the glass on the transom, in the center. last two numbers are year.. ya might check this out too.

as far as yer unleaded goes. ya can always add aftermarket lead additive if ya want. or many would say don't even bother. something else will break long before there's ramifications from not using lead.. myself, i just use the lead additive..
