Default Re: Your Opinions Please...

I repowerd my 20' Grady CC with an '02 2-stroke carbed Merc. 150 two seasons ago. This motor is phenomenal. While it certainly doesn't get the fuel economy of the 4-strokes, it's not inefficient by any means. Fully loaded, I'm pushing nearly 4000 lbs. through the water. WOT gives me almost 40 mph at 5400, but I try to cruise at 4000. This gets me about 28 mph and I'm burning 8 gal/hr per my Navman.

Like I said, it's not as efficient as a four stroke...but I paid less than $6500 for it. That included a new binnacle control, wiring harness and throttle and shift cables.

Just another option. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
