What did you find out about fuel economy and cost for a 200 HP motor? I've got a line on a used motor, but if it falls through I'm thinking about buying a new motor in the 150 -200 size class.
no nothing about it, I do know that some guys have tightebned the fit by applying a strip of some type of vinyl between the bottom of the sliding hatch and the groove it runs in on the deck. The only leaking I had on my V20's was thru a screw hole that was not caulked right opn top for the wood trim and the groove Blue told you about.
