Location: With my son on the water | If I were to buy a new motor, (Wait, I just did in 2014). Merc 150 4 stroke and it has been great. Great hole shot, great gas mileage (5.6 mpg) measured on a Merc Ecco monitor @ 3300 rpms going 26 mph, scary fast 50 plus but rarely go there, and So easy to winterize. Plus I supported the Wisconsin economy.
All the motors are good these days so it is all personal choice, it only takes one bad component (that all the manufactures purchase from the same vendor) to make a bad day. For me I personally know and have worked with many of the Engineers & Production Managers in the merc plant in Fond Du Lac, I know how intelligent these guys are and how committed they are to a good product so I had to support them and would do it again.
Cool water is coming, have a good day.  |
