Advice for repower outboard Malibu Flightcraft
Hello.
Wondering if anyone has experience re-powering a Malibu Flightcraft outboard for waterskiing (not barefooting). Mine is a 1989 with a 200 HP Yamaha. The motor runs great but I'd like to repower.
I'm looking at the new Merc V6 200HP vs G1 Etec 150HO (new non current model).
Etec - I like the weight 418 lbs (and winterizing) of Etec but would prefer more than 165ish HP. It might have better torque in the 30 to 36MPH range as well - not sure about this.
As for the new V6 Merc... I believe this motor will be quiet and have smoother throttle than Etec. but worried about the extra weight and 4 stroke response.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
