Boron
 
Yea I have heard that about Boron. I was going to look for a different block. But, as you can see from the pictures this motor already has .020 over pistons. It must already have been bored or sleeved. It looks like I dont have a choice but to sleeve it and not run it to hard. Is there one sleeve that is better than the next? Any suggestions?

Wolf my concern is weight...the 225 looks like another 20"er, too...if the smaller motor left you the typical 4-5" at the tranny, what's the heavier V6 gonna leave...did I miss somethin"...:head:

V6
 
The 225 is a 25"er for sure. The 150 and the 225 are virtually the same block in fact they use the same crank. The 225 will be a little heavier because of the 25" shaft but it shouldn't make much of a difference. Does any one have any experience in raising the transom? Do they like the results???

All of the V-6 2 stroke SUZUKI's were 2.7L engines and weighed within a few pounds of each other, so weight won't be much more. A 20" ZUKE will weigh about 470 pounds, so it is a fairly light weight 225 but heavy 150.
