Maybe this'll bump my karma some... :-D

Shucks!! I can't enter. My daughter works for a company that Brunswick owns. The rules state employees and immediate family's not elgible. But I get enough perks to compensate.

Thanks. Now for the waiting.

Sweet... Now all I have to do is win!

Engine of my choice... Hmm... I wonder what they'd think if I asked 'em for a 2.5 HP?

I would want a 50 horse but it says no EFI and they are all EFI if I was looking righ... ... Heavy compared to the old engines...

ok amigoid, heres your karma. i'll let you know when i win. lol frog

Yeah, I decided to go with the 175 HP 4cyl Verado, since it has identical specs as the 200 HP, I guess it runs a higher compression, so if the 200 and 175 use identical engines, the 175 would last longer. But dang.... 510 pounds versus the 275 pounds my 150 HP weighs? If I went to the 225 HP 6cyl Verado, it weighs 635 pounds!
If the displacement, bore/stroke, etc are the same, how is one engine 200HP and the other 175?

I don't figure I'd win, but thanks, I tried anyways.

I kinda like my old vintage motor, but built the transom on my Power Cat with the idea of taking a lot more weight. I could probably suffer through a larger and/or heavier motor. I sure wouldn't mind a 4 stroke, they're just awful heavy!
