Hmmm....well, My Merc is a 2.5L, 200hp, 1991, 60* engine...but it's a short (20") shaft so it would need to be stretched to 25". My Johnson is a 1991, 225hp, (3 screw butterfly) Looper, 90* engine. And like the Merc, it's a 20" shaft and would need to be stretched. So my question is, which engine would you use, and why?

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
