Wayne Duke in Lake City Fla has about the best prices on performence Merc stuff. He is also sells more Allisons than anyone in the Country. Give Him a call 904 752 2665 , Waynes Auto Marine lake City Fla

You can e-mail him through the board or look at the outboards for sale. I had a 200 xri with the exhaust relieved and would run 101 in Fla and 103 here IN B R .Very clean and his is bone stock.

I would consider looking at the Merc 225X if you do not want a 2.5 260 or 280. I think you could call it a "civilized" bad boy!

have any idea how fast it would be with the 22x ? that was one of the motors i was lookin at, that and the 200 classic. i got some info the the 200 would only get me into the low 80's though

[MTCM]

That 225X would surprise me if did not do 90-95 on your STV with the right wheel. 200 will probably put you in the 85 range with a good set up.

thanks for the info people, im leaning towrads the 225 promax i guess........now to find a good deal on one ! lol

You have to have the dealer install it to get the best price, so you might want to go to somebody near where you live. Where do you live?

im in newhampshire and there is NO deals here at all, i may take the small drive to canada to save some cash though.......
