    If you are not resriticted by horsepower it is the same weight as the VZ250 and VZ300. It became a 3.3ltr this year and is quite a bit stronger than the 2.6ltr version

    lots of torque but may not be ideal for light hulls as vector said it is the weight of the 300 so lb for lb the 300 is a better option unless limited in power you can use... also due to it being big block more HP potential.. not sure if porting is different or if any hard parts have changed but a 250 or 300 ECM should wake it up if you need to keep the 200 SN and cowl...

    Are you Inspected???? I have seen people swap ECM's in HP restricted instances and didnt get DQ'd B/c they were able to said it was replaced under warranty. maybe that could be something you could do????

    However If they regularly inspect even that may be risky...
    just an idea

    Same power, less weight

    Check out the Mercury Optimax 200XS. I don't remember the weight, but it ought to be lighter.

    Or a traditional carburated or EFI engine for that sake. But hurry if you want a new engine.

    What are you running?

    IMO if you are running a heavier hull or heavy loads the big block 200's (3.0L, 3.3L) would be a better choice; more torque. If you have a light hull than the higher winding 200xs (2.5L) would be

    not really as yahama advertises all of their 2 strokes at 4500-5500 rpm.....the 2.6 Oxx66 can be built to run with the XS as far as RPM range but that may not be allowed if your limited in HP...

    I was trying to get away from the weight of the new 200VZ

    100 lbs more than the XS.

    I'm limited at 200 hp and also am putting it on 20 ' tin.
    Looking for power at bothends and longevity(not planning on selling right away,15yr.

    if you dont mind my asking what is the reason you are limited?? is it for tournaments, or is that all the boat is rated for??? because i f it is the boats rating i would do the 200 Hpdi with a 300 ECM but if it tournaments I would go with the XS

    re: DI 200's

    For a heavy boat the 3.3L 200's would be my choice
    For a lighter boat like my Allison I'd go for the Mercury 200XS

    200XS 2.5L 6000-6500 rpm 1.87 gears, 434 lb
    Rude 200 HO 3.3L 5500-6000 rpm 1.86 gears, 517 lb
    Yamaha 2.6L HPDI VMax 200 2.6L 4500-5500, 1.86 gears, 475 lb
    Yamaha 3.3L HPDI VZ200 3.3L, 4500-5500, 1.81 gears, 529 lb

    all but the VZ200 data from manufacturer claims
    VZ200 from Feb Bass & Walleye boat
    They turned their test engine to 5800 rpm
    B&W state that the added displacement plus a new lower unit = 3-4 more mph

    Only the 200XS requires premium fuel.

    Plan B = 200 Carb motors = Merc only choice

    Merc 200 2.5L, 5000-5600 rpm, 1.87 gears, 406 lb


    Some time this year B&W are doing a 200 comparison test.
