90's 225-250

[GetReel]

Hello...want to put a single on a 25' mako. keep it light! what would be the most reliable. i know the 200's are pretty darn good, but not enough power? not lookin for speed just get on plane without over workin the engine all the time, seems like 225-250 no matter what make are more prone to blow up! new & old. maybe 2 v-4's? Thanks for any advise

Your not gonna see any real difference at all from a 200 to a 225, they are basically the exact same engine. Don't understand why you would think the 225's and 250's "blow up" any more than any other engine? <br /><br />It depends on what type Mako your talking about a CC could be really good with a single 200, but a 25' walkaround is gonna be underpowered with any single engine. Since this is not really a repair topic, you better off posting it in the Non-Repair discussions forum, it'll probably get moved there for you anyway.
