417 sorry i had a typing error on that one and blue stripe

well i found my used motor i was looking for its a 1981 merc 200hp with 417 hours on it. Compression read 125,130,125,125,125,125. The motor happened to be attached to another center console v20. Even crazier was my dad and Godfather bought this boat brand new in 1981. i thought it looked like...

going to look at a 1981 merc 200 tonight.... was wondering if someone could help me out in letting me know what the compression numbers should be on that motor? thanks

i wish it was a 25"

The boat is beautiful, if i had the knowledge and the time i would do the exact same thing to mine. This makes me want to keep my hull and turn into something beautiful like yours

She loved her fuel and drank plenty of it. i dont know what it was burning MPG wise but it was pretty pathetic. Hell if i took a season off of fishing 4+ days a week i could buy a nice used motor with what money i didnt put in the gas tank

Motor i looked at tonight was junk, the search continues I think in a perfect world id like to find a smaller engine. I dont need tons of speed and would love to do better on fuel. If anyone knows of a good one please let ne know. Ive also found several other boats that are in good running...

Thanks for the info, im driving out to see it this evening

i have found a 87 225 johnson thats the right price if it checks out... i know the v20s were rated for 200 but i believe ive saw a few on here with 225s hanging on to them? opinions is a 225 too much or worth a shot?

Im in ohio. I really dont know what to do at this point. I want to hold on to it, but at the same time i dont want to mess with it. the outboard guy i want to look at it is booked solid. If i could find a decent motor for the right price i would just buy it and be done but that doesnt seem to...

I fired it up, it ran didnt want to start in neutral but would start with a little throttle and would idle back down... it sounded like there was a little bit of rattling going on and i shut her down right away. anyone have any insight on that?

i cant find a decent motor around here for a realistic price and im not a fan of rebuilding the power head so i think i may just part ways with my v20 and move on... trying to figure out what a realistic asking price is... please chime in 1990 center console that is solid but needs...

Havent gotten it there yet but Brian at aquamarine in lorain
