anybody out there know something about an Omega boat, built 1978? Trying to find out original motor setup.I'm pretty sure it was a v8 but which one? Boats 19 footer open bow. Someone took original motor out and left a straight six behind, thanks Roger

Re: Motor ?

They made four different stern drive models that year. Only one was a V8 and it was the OV2200. This was the 21 foot boat. The other three boats were rated at 170HP which would be the straight six cylinder engine you have.

Re: Motor ?

Trent, thanks for answer,boat is only 19.4", but the six they left in boat has a round thru hull attachment. Mount holes that are in transome are six holes, top and bottom same distance apart, center ones maybe three inches outside of top and bottom.Engine and rear drive are not attached to boat. They just pulled one and left other.Do you have time I'll send pictures of what I have?. Its a nice hull, but thats as far as it goes. The six they left has eight hole hook up thru transome, and round. One more thing, under seat was a distributor cap (8), and eight spark plugs in glove box.
