    2020 3.4L 225 Mercury four stroke VS 4.6 Pro ES performance?

    My buddy is getting ready to pull the trigger on a new Ranger 519, It has the 3.6 Mercury.
    How will it perform compared to the 4.6 Pro XS?
    Thanks for any input!!

    My guess is the 3.4 V6 will be 4-6 mph slower than the 4.6 V8 and may have a slower hole shot unless propped just right.

    There is also a significant different in TORQUE, since the DISPLACEMENT is considerably different.

    I would encourage him to go with a V8-ProXS.

    Just get the pro xs there will be absolutely zero regrets that way. That v6 wont even compare nothing performs like a V8. I love mine such a sweet setup.
