I'm looking at purchasing a specific 94 but need help confirming a few things that have me puzzled.
This particular boat that I'm inspecting as the traditional inboard placement in the center of the boat with the engine cover vs a rear engine mounted. So were both versions offered in 1994?
What's the HP rating for the 94' LT1? Does this particular motor require supreme gas?
Hull is in excellent condition. Interior in good condition (no rips). 335 hours. I've negotiated down to $11,500 with trailer.

That's a nice boat but I'm talking mid-mount or direct drive 225. I'm assuming they made both in 1994. Really wanting to know specs on LT1 for 94 and octane recommendation. Owner says he's always run 89 octane.

I answered the part of your post that I could fined. Yes both version were offered. You say you are looking at center mount motor and I showed you a rear mount motor.
I'm sorry if the questioned you ask was not one you wanted an answer to. :D

i would say 89 would be fine in the marine version.

my 1997 MARISTAR LT1 had 328 hp. Not sure on direct drive. I didn't think they made vdrives in 95 but I guess I am wrong. I thought the first year was 96.
I used regular gasoline in my boat. It performed good and i know that alot of literation says to use high octane gas.
