Bump...

I know it’s a few years ago,,,,

Does anyone know anything..... I’ve just taken a 225 from a rib and put it on to a Sealine, and the fuel economy is painfull. 🥴

Cheers
Phil.

No experience on a RIB, but do as a dealer mechanic. Those Cosworth blocks never got old and weren't much fuel economic either. Last one I've seen was 15 years ago and already then it was an old lady. Would find myself a nice 3.0ltr EFI if 4-stroke is not within reach and needing that horsepower range. Those are much reliable.
