Mercury 600sc???
I'm looking at a 38zx Daytona equipped with 600sc's. Im having a hard time finding information on these older engines. Are they a reliable setup? I'm going to assume that these are tired and in need of freshening. What kind of cost can I expect to freshen them? Any particular issues that I need to be aware of when looking at the boat? I plan to have a mechanic thoroughly inspect the power train, as well as have a survey performed should I decide to move forward.
Thanks

The 600SC and 575SCI shared the same long block. 502 ci. Mild, 7.5:1 compression, very mild .550 lift, flat tappet cam, there's nothing really expensive in there and should not be too pricey to re-fresh. Upgrades like flat top pistons, good hyd roller cam selection, 871 blowers can make a lot more power and still retain reliability.
