    great info ... did not know there was that much diff in weight between the yamaha and johnson .. that much weight would make a difference, especially with the bracket application. all makes sense. thanks

    need advice on used outboard purchase...

    all good points .. i guess some of these boats were rated at 225 .. i think someone said that '85 was 200, but not sure. i agree, if the max for my boat is indeed 200, then going beyond that may not be a good idea .. even for 25 hp. i have no doubt the boat could handle it, especially if...

    that 150 merc went for 1236.00 .. too much with that miss and those compression numbers .. search is still on. my boat right now will do nowhere near 60 .... actually it will not even do 15 :) bought it with a blown sea drive. 60 would be nice .. i am a bit of a speed demon, at least on...

    thanks for the info .. went to the marina and looked at the merc .. looks ok, was told that none of these engines have an air filter?? just an airbox which they say this one has. they ran it and it has a miss, also can hear it run on the ebay ad. stated they do not know what the miss is from ...

    need advice on used outboard purchase...

    is there much of a weight savings from this merc we are speaking of to the 1992 200hp yamaha that i was thinking of looking at? what kind of $$ are we talking to upgrade the charging system on this motor? what should the compression numbers be ideally on this motor (merc) ? as always...
