Default Re: 200hp optimax on 23cc?

Not to get away from the subject of repower, but I have 1998 225 efi Merc. and have been very satisfied with it. The question i have to bigshrimpin is what do you mean by "wake it up" more power? better fuel mileage? (I'm hoping for the better fuel burn!!) Anyway let me know what you think, thanks.

I'd call simons for details. They are claiming "335 reliable HP, 350 foot pounds of torque, at the prop shaft, on pump gas"

I don't know too much about 3.0L mods, except from some second hand info and a bunch of reading. I'm just parroting what I've read. . . . my slug comment is based on personal experience

I spoke to Doodlebug on his 250's @ Long Point and he said he was going to re-program them down to 225's for better fuel usage. If there is a line at the fuel dock, it's probably Doodlebug and I with our twin 3.0s
