HaHa my old boat don't get much WOT time any more . Not a very fast boat anyway. But it gets me back to the ramp every time.

[racervboat]

10-4 on that

[rkmirage]

2.4 200 mercury, 358 lbs

[racervboat]

cool but at what top speed ? 100 lbs heavier than a v - 4 ? But a 225 pro max on that 18 action no match.

Not 100 lb heavier than a V4. I think the 100 cube V4's were around 300 lb. my 115 HO Etec is actually heavier than my 225 Promax.

[racervboat]

no 275 tops

[RIVERRUMMER 70]

pro max 150 ss

Buy one of the 200XS motors in the motor for sale section. Once they are sold I won't hear them calling me anymore.

What about a 200 2.4 with the chrome lined cylinders? That drops what? 10-15 pounds? Plus with a single ram, not sure if it is lighter all in all compared with the integral, but you can use the external trim pump as ballast. My offshore boat has the trim pumps under the deck!

He wants to go further than six miles on ten gallons of fuel.

I ran my mod '80 235 on my Allison XB CompPro 110 miles plus a bit of playtime and used 25-26 gallons. Cruise speed was around 70 swinging a 29" wheel. I played with the trim watching the GPS and RPM.... I'll put it up against any Merc!

[Capt.Insane-o]

Dunno if he was referring to new motors or not.

[H2OPERF]

The New G2 66 Degree 2.7L-V6 etecs are amazing..

[Umassot50]

Wouldn't you want to mod a v4 to keep weight down? Does Merc have any nice v4'? You only hear about the v6'

[powerabout]

v4 looper is capable of 200hp but weighs the same as 2.5 v6 merc that starts at 200hp

[racervboat]

Im working on a 200hp 2.4 chrome bore motor right now for the 16ft Allison, single ram,light weight cowl,going to cut it to 15 inch also.Won't know how huch it will weigh till I get it done this spring but should be close to the mod v-4?
