Thanks Spare

Don't know. Have to look up the stats. Right now I have a 1993 Mercury 2 stroke 200 HP' Nothing wrong with it, just thinking about the age and the fuel consumption.

That's an older picture. The prop is stainless now and the bimini is now a hard cover with rocket launcher on the back and Raymarine radar in front. All covered for the winter.

That 2 smoker will weigh in around 435ish. All the current 4 cylinder 200 hp 4 strokesweigh in 510-535 depending on options

Destroyer, what are you going to do with your old mercury? I might be interested in it. I love the 2 strokes and I have a 1988 150 now. Let me know.
That***8217;s a 6 cylinder too I think.

What are you going to do with your old motor? Let me know , I’m interested in it. I love the older motors. I have one.

Weight wise, if u can eliminate the kicker when u get the 4S, might be a wash.

Still not sure on pulling the trigger on buying a new engine. But if I do I'll give you first shot at mine. (BTW, it's a very special engine. Several years ago I bought an aftermarket electronic unit and removed the plastic oil metering gear that was causing all these engines to break due to no oil, so no need to mix the oil and gas). Best $400 conversion you could give these engines.

if anyone is interested, I've got a buddy in Charleston that's stepping his customer up from a 250 to a 300 Suzuki. 2024 model, 80 hours, rigging included. 19K, still under warranty, still on the boat.
