A YAMAHA would be my first choice in that HP for economy. 2nd would be a MERCURY 2.0L, i know they made them in a 150 and I think there were a few 175 2L's. All of the OMC 150/175's were thirsty except for the DFI's.

I have always loved the sound and power of the 2.0 150 Mercs. I had a buddy with a 175 on n Aquasport and it would FLY....not to mention it sounded like a bigblock in the yard caming.


you ARE talking about the late 80's-mid 90's (I think) Blackmaxes right?


I hear they are pretty chep (for an outboard) and easy to work on as well....correct?
