The answer to the original question is very simple. Mercury built the 1987 XR 2 for only one year1987!
They did build a 175 hp rated engine that was a 2.0 cc engine and they did build a 175 hp rated engine that was a larger bore (2.4?). What Mercury says on their cowlings and what the engine actually produces is probably quite different IMO. I do believe that Mercury built the XR 2 for more years than 1987. Any legitimate Merc dealer or Guru should be able to answer your question straight up as in "WHAT YEARS DID MERCURY MANUFACTURE XR 2 ENGINES FOR SALE IN THE U.S.?

The 2.0L 150 XR2 came out in 1985. It was the only motor in the line-up that had gray stripes instead of brown that year. They continued building it in 1986 and 1987.
In 1988 it was replaced by the 2.4L 150 XR4.'89 Hydrostream Vegas XT, '90 Merc 2.4 Bridgeport PCU EFI
