    Water in Oil

    Barr is one of the casting houses for Volvo Penta, Mercruiser, PCM and others aw well as Edelbrock. So they have pretty good stuff. The batwings were a bad idea dreamed up by accounting. Core shift meant the walls were either paper thin or really thick they only lasted a few years in production

    1970 12' Ouichita

    I believe that the Ouichita aluminum boats were built by alumacraft. I also think that the boat was rated at 10hp, however I am going off old grey haired grey matter. use the USCG CFR 33.183 calculations on boat hp. if the transom is under 4' wide, then 10hp. if your transom is over 4' wide...
