10 meter sedan 1986. Model 350

Post by Kjpv2b »

Hello all. Have myself a 10 meter sedan with mercruiser 350..? Anyone else have these engines? Majority seems to be 454s. Don’t know anything about the boat since the guy I bought it from was a broker and just needed to get rid of it. Both engines did run when I bought it, compression test were good except for one cylinder that had a lower compression than the others, I think 10psi... thank uou

Here are the engines.  I don’t see many here with 10 meter sedans. Is it not a good type or just not very popular?

Your Engines are Crusaders 454s and 350 hp not mercs . This is the engine Trojan put in the 10 meter . Crusader model 350 is indeed a 454 cid .

I have the same year and model. Those are 454's for certain. Great boat!! They are extremely popular and hard to find as most keep them many years. There are plenty of express 10 meters but the sedan has great lines, very sea worthy. Read the write up by Dave Pascoe on the 10.8 you'll be glad you scored that boat.
