I own a ‘73 191 Atlantic Weekender. Original brochure says standard power is 120 hp but also says options available for up to 245hp. What options were needed for 200+ hp outboard?

I downloaded the brochure from GW's site because I wanted to see what it looked like. A couple of my uncle's used to have some Chesapeake's or Nassau's - I don't remember well enough which ones. The Atlantic looks a lot like them, except a bit smaller and OB, instead of IO. Nice looking, classic boat.

But looking at the spec's for your boat in the brochure, it says max HP of 180HP? 245HP sounds more like a stern drive rating. Especially since I don't think an OB with an HP rating anywhere near that 245 figure was even a gleam in someone's eyes in 1973 :)
