I got a 1990 201 pro with the GT 200. It's in excellent shape, boat and motor, but it's reputation as a gas hog is well deserved. I have an opportunity to trade with a dealer (dealer's a close relative) for a 1995 201 with the Johnson 200 hp venom and it all seems to be in excellent condition with good compression.
My question is, am I going to realize a noticeable gain in gas mileage and performance with the 1995 set-up? I mostly drive my boat wide open if conditions allow.
The smart thing to do would be trade for a later fuel injected motor with boat but I don't have the money.
Any comments would be appreciated.
