1987 xr2 150 only built for one year?

[speedboatjim]

I can't really see where mercury's xr2 150 mag was made but for only one year, Does someone know why or maybe show me proof of those motors built before or after 1987

85-87, then became the XR4, and finally the XR6

I had a 1986 XR2 150. loved it.

Ok, I found it , there was the 220 HP motor and it was only built from87-88 and it don't say if its a xr motor or not .

Over your head and to the boat ramp I guess , cause we are still talking about mercury's xr history , the outboard motors that beat out all competition and
Pushed mercury racing away from Brunswick inc. To get the motors back on top

[speedboatjim]

97-99 xr2 sp jet 175 HP , i know there was not many of them made due to its jet drive lower unit

This one's over my head, don't know how we got from an 87 XR2 outboard to a 97 jetski motor

[donmac]

I think the jetdrive powerhead was labeled M2 or MR2!

Oranges , Apples . That 175 powerhead on a prop lower would be called a 200.
