(by the Commodore on behalf of someone shopping for a 9.1): (note: the number before the GM indicates the number of cylinders while the number following the GM indicates the horsepower of the engine) A 1985 boat I recently looked at had a Yanmar 2GM18F in it. Another boat I looked at this weekend (a 1985 Liberty Cup Boat) has a Yanmar 2GM13 in it. The BucBook only lists 1985 9.1's with a 15 horse Yanmar. How much variability was there in the engine choices of these boats? Someone suggested boats intended for sale in the great lakes came with raw water cooled 15's while those intended for salt water came with fresh water cooled 18's. Then I find this boat with a 13. I am guessing they may have put the 13 in the Liberty Cup Boats to keep the weight down? Looking for members to post any knowledge, thoughts or experience they may have on this issue. |
