starz,those were the exact same numbers for my merc. i've been pleased so far,just rolled over 200 hours on it this weekend.
the way i figure it i've saved 4 gallons @ hour over the 150 2S (6gph vs 10gph). so thats 4 x 200= 800 gallons x $2.50=$2000 + 16 gallons of merc 0il @ $25 = $400.
total fuel savings $2400.
so in 5 -6 years, it will pay for itself
i realize there are a LOT of variables in this equation, but it's the one i used to convince myself to buy a new motor.
feel free to use it
