Default Re: Motor size

The older 2.0 liter V6 Mercs. (135, 150...and a few very early 175s) were very reliable and easy on gas. I had a 1985 2.0 150 on my 20' Grady and it would cruise me at 28 mph and burn less than 7 gal/hr. They weight under 400 lbs too. You should be able to pick up a rebuilt 80s model for pretty cheap.

Just a thought. Good luck.
