Anything that I should watch out for going to a Mercury? Is this a Ford/Chevy conversation or is there more to it than that? Is the Mercury still 2 cycle? What kind of top end speed increase could I expect going from the 85 to 150 on a fiberglass deck boat? Thanks.

Both are "powerhead" rated. But, there is still a 65 HP difference.<br /><br />Pick the one in the best shape. Both are very "serviceable".
