Rebuilt it and it lasted 3 trips.. Next was a 496 HO and it lasted 2 seasons.. Now I have a 2001 25 ft cruiser with the original 220 hp carbed 5.0 I bought it 2 seasons ago . As soon as we get out of the no wake its WFO at 4800 rpm's for 15-20 mins and same on the way back.I keep thinking the motor will blow so I can put in a 383 but nope... It Keeps on going.. We have taken it to Bimini from Miami several times.. Whats up with the new Hi -Tech motors.. They suck..
