motor size

[Steplift 72']

I think the late 80's loopers were great motors, hate to see you get rid of it. On a V20 in open water it's a rare day that the speed of a 225 could be used, but when that day does finally happen 30 mph seems like you're sitting still looking at the horizon and glassy water. I did have some late 90's loopers also and they were not nearly as quick or fuel efficient. Some of the 2 stroke experts at this site explained the exhaust ports were choked down in those years for decreased emissions and that explanation was no doubt valid from what I experienced. There are folks here with excellent knowledge of the particulars of each motor and year models, hope they reply.
