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

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

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.

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

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?
