Pursuit 2870
 

A friend is looking at a 1998 2870 Pursuit W twin 225 Mercs. *I told him I ask you guys to see if anyone has any knowledge of these motors. *Did they make 4 strokes in 1998? *I have no idea. *Billy Mac *;D

Re: Pursuit 2870
 

Everything I have found says 2001 and up they have 4 stroke? Have not seen anything before that?

Re: Pursuit 2870
 

Thanks MJ, I did not think 4 strokes were around that long but I did not know for certain. *Now another question, If they are two strokers, did mercury make only one model or more than one? *Thanks Billy Mac *;D

Where do you get this stuf so fast?! Billy Mac ;D I'll pass those models along to him and see which one are on the boat he's looking at.

Re: Pursuit 2870

He's going to use it on Lake Erie which can get plenty rough real quick. Skools what do you know about 98 mercs? Billy Mac ;D

Re: Pursuit 2870
 

You all sure know your stuff on just about every boat and motor that comes along ! Why are you all freezing to death up there ? I dont want to rub it in but it is 62 here right now

Handi man let me check it's 10 outside going down to 4 as the local weathercaster says its a cuddle alert night! Here are two photos of the boat. the motors are 225 Optimax. What do you guys know about these. Does mercury have problems with their waranty service?
