200 efi its a dang good motor, only con i can think of is it likes the gas.
200 opti is a good motor also and alot better on fuel and oil.
just make sure you have them check out before dropping the hammer on it.
thanks i had a 97 150 efi but just wanted to check
BOTH are great engines.
The 200 Opti will have AT LEAST 33% better fuel economy.... as a matter of fact, it will use less fuel than the 150 EFI you had.![]()
