Mike, I have a '98 150HP OceanRunner. It is the 60 degree V6. The '97 is the same, I believe.

It has the orings for a cylinder head, although you need to put a bead of blue ATV silicone around each water passage before you put the head on. LOL

My motor has tremendous low end power. I have never had to open the throttle all the way, even with eight in the boat and one on the tube. I have it on a 21' DC, BTW.

I think it is one of the best motors I have ever seen, although I hate the idea that I may someday need to rebuild and adjust the six carbs.

Yes, the 60* have O ring'd heads. Not a bad deal at all.

The 60* 150 will have more zing than the old 2.6 crossflow. If you want another one I have a 92 I'll sell ya and you can have twins.....

Yep, thought I had it gone but fell thru. In fact we're going to Islamorada in 7 days. Can get it that far anyway.
