Yes and I presume so. :)

Thanks and thanks! :) It's a 425 HP 496HO, B1. She looks great from 30 ft. but lots of work needed. In the shop over the wiinter for a major cosmetic overhaul (the mechanical overhaul was, of course, the re-power 2 seasons back.)

Some I can't tell. I know of two (one being mine) that are definitely converted to singles. I know of 4 (including the one in this thread) that are still twin sixes for sure. Two look to be in very good shape still. I've seen one or two that were twin smallblocks. Twin sixes will get...

Nova Marine 24, twin v-drives.
