Crusader Mercury

What's the difference. Penn Yan used both

[Capt Vince Pierleoni]

Amongst the serious fishing community, Crusader enjoys a much more respected reputation for quality and durability. My experiences with both mirrors this. It seems all of the marinization is more heavy duty. Mercruiser went more and more into performance engines, squeezing out more hp out of the same size blocks.

So these are two different manufacturers?

The blocks can be the same but what is in them could be different. Vince has had his share of work done I'm sure. I know for a fact I have crusader motors but in 2005 they were replaced with mercruiser long blocks on a pallet as drop in motors. But they are still a crusader application.
