First hello to all cause this is my first post in the forum.
Im a proud owner of a Searay 220 br since 2 years now.
Its a 1991 model with a Mercruiser 5.7 v8 engine with Alpha One 2 stern.
Im not pretty satisfied with the engine for several reasons, first of all due to the fuel consumption.
Also the motor is not in a very good shape due to the non proper maintenance of the previous owner and it burns oil.
As a result of the above i have a cruising speed at 24mph and max speed at 33mph, which i believe is not very good for my setup.
Anyway that was my short intro, before two days i found a guy that selling a Mercruiser D 4.2 (220hp) 2001 model diesel engine together with a bravo 2 stern,gimbals,instruments and controls in a very very good price and shape.
My question is first if this engine will fit to my searay.
Also what about my consumption? Now at cruising speed i burn about 2 l/m and maybe a bit more..
And finaly what about my cruising and top speed with that engine?
Thank in advance,
T.
