just my opinion, but everyone I've talked to said the yamaha 200 4 stroke isn't a great motor. Thats why I went with the 150 4 stroke on my frontier. @00 is much heavier with not much better performance. Now that boat with the 200 HPDI would move! I wish I had put that engine on my frontier!

But I promise you will not be disappointed with that boat.

Its rated for a 225 you think that 150 would handle...

150 would push it good. I cruise at about 36 and top out around 50 with me and one person.

Chris at Haynie is a Mercury dealer. I'd put the 200 or 225 optimax on it!

CMDROST, I agree with you. The Yamaha 200 4 stroke is almost 100 pounds heavier than the HDPI 2 stroke. The 150 4 stroke and 200 HPDI have basically the same weight. I really do not see too many 200 4 strokes on the water but I see a lot of 225 and 250.

225 opti on the Z21 no doubt

boat is designed with a pad for a lighter stronger motor to lift it up

If you are going to go with a 2 stroke I would go with the YAMAHA 200 HPDI over any MERC. However if I would ever get a Merc I would get the Optimax.

Jay I agree with you on the opitimax. Better hole shot cause more low end torque and fuel mileage is close on cruise speed but not quiet as good on full throttle.

So far...it's a known fact that:

Sea Fox is the "best"
MotorGuide is the "best"
Waterloo is the "best"
Curado is the "best"
Sand Eel is the "best"
Big Game is the "best"
Chevy is the "best"


If you don't have these.........YOU SUCK!!!
