Here is the results from the survey report. I think the compression ratio is something like 11:1 on these engines? Not sure what the Mercruiser/GM spec is for psi, but 11:1 probably gets you upwards pf 200 psi.
We had 5 people . . . surveyor, engine mechanic, a captain, the broker, myself.

The surveyor showed up in just a t-shirt . . . forgot his sweat shirt at home
Is it the GM 6.2 base engine? Or is it one of the blocks that Mercury is now manufacturing?
mercury makes the blocks, however the rotating bits look like GM parts which match the spec's published late in 2015 for the 2016 Mercruiser 6.2
from what I saw in my buddies shop..... GMPP rotating assembly, Mercury block and heads

We have a 2018 Venture (VATB-12625) with electric over hydraulic disc brakes on all six and balanced radials on Chinesium aluminum rims. Tows like a dream. Stops even better. When setting it up, redrilled, lowered and pushed the main bunks to the widest to get CG down. Also changed the hardware to G8. Did it before setting the boat first time, in the delivery marina’s lot. Took a buddy and I about an hour. The next morning, it took three hits with their travel crane to get the winchstand and target bunks set. About another hour, but we messed it up twice. Tipped the three yard guys $100 each. Subsequently, changed to Made in U.S.A. Timken bearings and Goodyear Endurance tires. Honestly, no difference compared to Chinesium but I felt better about it and still do.
I checked in with Riverhead and they were not helpful . . . one word answers, so I'm not sure what they really have on-hand. Pricey too.Home - Riverhead Trailer - Long Island's Largest Trailer Dealer

I was thinking of getting a new trailer for my old boat and decided to just put a heavier duty axle under it instead.
Yes, I have the factory drawings for trailer setup - Keel to top of arch is 10'-5". Now . . . Assuming 2' off the ground on the trailer, it would stand 12' 5" once loaded to the trailer.
I actually called them today to ask about something else and also asked about their inventory and the guy I spoke to said they were 'loaded with trailers'....I think his name was Chris....
