Re: \"Ideal\" power for a 20' '87 Superfisherman?
well . . . I love my old merc 200. 360lbs, dirt cheap to maintain, low maintenance, 35mph cruise . . . always better than 3mpg (in any conditions) - flat calm 3.75mpg. 1979 powerhead on mid 80's mid section, 3ram Trim and Tilt, 1.87 gears, and a mirage plus 17.
If I have the money in the near future . . . I might spring for a Suzuki 150/175 to extend my range. 5mpg would be awesome for my 35 gallon tank, but it's difficult to justify when you have a good running motor.
