might repower
 

hearing from lots of folks that my 92 johnson 175 ,if i ever get it fixed is a major gas hog. so i am thinkin instead of having it rebuilt i might look around for a used motor instead. i am thinking a 200 might do better since it doesnt have to work as hard. i am scared of buying anything local since katrina. anybody out there know of any sites online where i can look for a used motor? tx

My 200 Merc. loves sucking the fuel down. Would love a Johnson 115, maybe a 90 with todays gas prices. Even thinking about a set of oars and a sail. :D

Hey Racerx,

You already found what you're looking for as far as fuel economy.

My old 175 was a real gas hog! The new 115 Envinrude ficht I got is very impresssive. With a 15P prop it jumps out of the water and has as much top end as I want - maybe 35 or so (not broken in yet). I believe it will be very easy on fuel. Very quiet and no smoke.
