    150opti merc or 175XS mercury opti for a newer motor. Very stingy on fuel. Older 200 merc for a lighter but more thirsty motor.

    Gen 1 Etec 150 HO or 200 small block, 418 lb
    Mercury 150 or 175 Pro XS, 431 lb

    4 stroke claimed weights are heavier and do not include oil.

    The weight and performance given by a hopped up motor would be more than off set by the xtra fuel that it would burn and would need to be carried. A 175XS would have a 6 gph fuel burn at 35 mph on reg gas with nearly 200 hp at 430#s. So figure about 6 mpg with a good prop and with a 30 gal tank you would have a range of 150 miles with a small reserve. Hard to match except with an e-tec 150hp which are strong 150 hp motors.

    Decent but if 35 is all the boat will be doing 6gph probably isn't the best. Almost 200 prop is good.

    Nice light boat, good numbers still come from good tune. Those are good numbers.

    3-4 mpg is what my 200 EFI merc gets on my V-King. It's not bad. But it would be 8 mpg or so with a 175XS opti.
