Captains Choice 6.0L
The Captain’s Choice 6.0 MPI, a 6.0 liter GM Vortec engine, makes 375 horsepower and is the latest in automotive technology adapted for marine use.
The 6.0 MPI features Crusader’s totally new HO exhaust system, which has high performance aluminum heads and is freshwater cooled. The distributorless ignition with platinum tip spark plugs stretches maintenance intervals into years. The serpentine belt system with auto-tension makes it incredibly easy to change the impeller.
The Captain’s Choice 6.0 MPI features the industry’s first modular raw water pump, with direct-engine mount – no brackets for increased durability. The stainless steel pump is tough and specially engineered for the demands of the marine environment. The 6.0 is super quiet, incredibly smooth, provides neck-snapping performance and cruising efficiency. For all this power, the 6.0 still runs on standard octane fuel while the competition’s high performance engines require premium.
