6.8 viper max re-engine advice
I'm thinking of giving my boat (6.8 viper max) a refurb I've been to the tube shop today and happy with the price.
Now which motor and why ???
Ps. The boat is plated for 200hp max.

Is there actually a difference?
Sure they haven't just been a bit more accurate with the measurements or a bit more exaggerated with the length .....

She may measure 6800mm LOA, but she's definitely a Vipermax 6.5.
