Buddy blew his 200 EFI, doesn’t have the funds or desire to put $20k into the boat. He can get a decent deal on new (demo) 175 Merc V6. I know it’s a long shot, but figured I’d ask anyways. Anyone happen to be running something similar?

I would find a nice used 200 for 10K or less to put on it, or rebuild the EFI he has.

He already had it rebuilt once and wasted $6k, the shop doesn’t know why it blew either time. He’s in west Texas with very limited options, he’s only interested in a new motor.
Those EFI motors are very reliable and run for a long time, if he is doing something that blew two of them then he will do the same to a newer motor, they are way more sensitive to abuse and lack of maintenance than the old EFI motors are.Originally Posted by Bass in the grass

Figure about 10 or so MPH slower.
