I am looking at getting a boat with this motor on it. Any concerns or issues I need to be looking for? I am going to hate getting away from my 2001 150 XR6 as it has been bullet proof, but it is time for a newer ride. Thanks in advance for any replies. 227 hrs on motor.
That is a good motor if the mantainace is done correctly, what boat is it on?
Z8
I would probably pass on that one, a 200 is too small for that boat, great motor on a Z7 though.Originally Posted by bowbender_1969
Could you elaborate on that some more please? Too small meaning I would not get speed out of the boat?
Slower top speed, slower to get on plane and less efficient, that boat is rated for a 250hp. I would never recommend buying a bass boat that is underpowered, someone gave me the same advice years ago and after owning several boats I have found out that their advice was 100% accurate.
