Dave, I think the whole business about marine engines "failing the quality test" is a myth. If you've ever lifted the hatch and have seen (and heard) a pair of 427 marines working in a cruiser, you'll quickly see that nothing but the highest quality would go into a marine application. When they work, they work very hard. Marine engines actually spend a lot of time lounging at the marina, and this is their secret to longevity.

Any inferior product put into a cruiser would represent a call back for the boat and engine manufacturer. I think the side oilers that got into boats, did so as a function of when they were purchased, and what happened to be on the skids at the time the obligation to ship occurred, but that's just the opinion I've formed over the years. The UAW strikes, for instance, caused a lot of hybrid applications, and some Chris Craft boats, for instance, had frames specially made for the FE, but were hacked a bit at the last momemt to receive the Chrysler 413 (Oooohh, what a disappointment that would have been, ha ha).

Personally, I'm not aware of any Chris Craft 427's that were hydraulic. I think they were ALL solid lifter. There are other marine applications that are not Chris Craft, and most of what I know is about the Chris Crafts. Trojan, Century, Higgins, Riva, and several others used the FE in one form or another, many under the "Intercepter" name tag.
