i ran alot of engines in my time. im not sure if anyone here is running a 150/175 60deg johnrude. but the low end and mid ragne not even merc can match ( i own more mercs than j/e so its an unbiased opinion) if you are not concerned with fuel efficientcy, meaning, you might use your boat 2-3 times a month which most people can do. the 3-4k in price would not be beneficial as oppose to the fuel savings you would see. now if you needed the extra range to due fuel tank limitations then the newer technology would be a must. im sure anyone on here whos ever been in some really really snotty seas will say that nothing makes it worse than an under powered boat.
