    cobra 190

    Anyone have or put a 200 hp Optimax 3.0L on a cobra 190? I am just wondering if it weighs to much to put on a cobra 18'8. I have a 150hp efi on it and threw a rod and I am going to repower with a 200hp

    I haven't seen an Optimax on a 190, but a friend repowered from a Johnson 175 to a E-Tec 200 and made that boat fly! It did not look like it sat a$$ heavy in the water with the 200 on it. What is the difference in weight between the two?

    the Optimax weighs about 125 lbs more than an EFI.
