Baller bananaron Posted May 21 Author Baller Share Posted May 21 Its a 2016 Gekko GTR I am curious about that engine as I recall some issues I thought I read on this site or another.I know for some skiers these smaller HP engines were under powered for skiing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the Boltons by marinizers, there’s not a whole lot of variation in 5.7L engines. I had an LCR in a response for many years. It was rated at 320 hp. Plenty of power for skiing. Very difficult to tell a difference between it and the monsoon at 340 hp. In short, its fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Drago Posted May 21 Baller Share Posted May 21 @buechsr--you should assume @bananaron is looking for another pristine boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 03RLXi Posted May 21 Baller Share Posted May 21 Best bet will be to ask on www.themalibucrew.com as a coupler of really knowledgible Indmar people there. As far as I know it's same as the Monsoon 335/340/350 but different exhaust manifolds as include CAT and obviously some ECM tweaks. The Monsoons have very good reputation.

Probably in half the boats in the wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Sethro Posted May 21 Baller Share Posted May 21 Can you post a pic of the engine so we know exactly which one it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted May 22 Baller_ Share Posted May 22 (edited) ok! vortec engines: known issues. cross migration between cylinders is a common failure (head gasket). intake manifold leakage. circulation pump failure. indmar issues: to many hardware changes and lack of information of the many parts. some had the propensity to break the alternator bolt. wobbly raw water pumps. casting plugs In exhaust manifolds leakage. then there are a myriad of issues with the ls platforms..
