Revisiting Tims thread re 2.1 L Merc 115

[McGillicuddy]

Thread revival from last August... Has anyone opted for this motor yet? Tim???
I'm really tempted to re-power the Seafari 20 with this choice. Its about 360 lbs and appears to get 5 mpg and 4 mpg @ roughly 20mph and 35 mph... Think i could keep my controls and props, making it more intriguing. 4-s silence at speed?

Until recently I've been 2-s d.i. or die with short looks at zuke 90 and 140. I think with etec weight on the rise and merc offering a 4s lighter than an opti, even with oil, mercs new 2.1 L is a game changer.

Com'on Terry of the 3 Lions, what say you 2-s faithful, does the torque curve allow consideration? What say you Bushwacker - it appears the valve lash issue is "history"...have I lost my way?

Bigshrimpin', oh Grand Pooh-bah of the phantom black, how doth thy opine?
