Motors in that TG were 7.4 LX engines, Mercruiser didn't build them long. 330hp. They were not the 454 MAG MPI 385hp.

You are right it is a flat deck. If I'm right the TG didn't come out until 1987?

Close; in '86 Cigarette built both flat deck 38's and Top Gun 38's.

Slow Top Guns are still Top Guns. ....plus, this is a good looking TG that will start every time you want to use it! (that means the average speed of this TG is higher than the average speed of blown TGs that sit on the trailer with engine issues)

My bad, I never knew that merc made an lx 7.4 with that style of intake. I've only seen the tbi and truck plenum style

I had an 86 38 Scarab with 454/330 top was speed 50 ish it was embarrassing so I had to get Tommy to put in blown CHEIF 454's with 600 per side

I could've sworn it was 87 that you could buy both? Pretty sure "first gun" is a 87 with no notch.
