It should be gray and heavy. It would be a 3.6. Check out the V8 thread or click on the links under Liquid Nirvana's name on this thread and you should be able to find the 1985 brochure on his website.Quote:

I doubt yours is a race motor. Most that get them think that but they end up being stock or close to.
If orig. yours is a 3.6 liter motor and was one of the better running modles from what I've seen.
Watch the other thread for more on specifics to the 8's.
The basics are very similar to the 90 degree V-6's of the same era. Three different sized carbs with the biggest only being around the first couple yrs.
Love to see more pics of your rig. It is very rare.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Gary for the inmormation , I was hoping that maybe I was the only man with thisboat as an outboard ! Sounds like they made a couple though !
I am certainly going to continue investing into this boat to go out on the river and do what this motor has made a name for !
As I get more formilure with this sight I will continue to add pics to my profile and continue to hang out in this sight with all you other Throttle Junkies !
Can't wait to hit the water this coming year !

Here's my contribution to this thread. I know it ain't white or blue(usta was) but it is Dragon Master 4 liter V-8 that runs real good.
