What are the differnces in these two motors other than 190 vs 220? I have heard that the carb motor will give you a little extra power if needed to pull a heavy person up, but the 220 gets better gas mileage.

A lot of posts about the carb "dieseling", does the MPI not do that? Which is a better motor for a 19ft bowrider I/O that will be used to pull mostly kids on a tube and wakeboard? Most adults would be 200 pounds or under and know how to ski.

Is the 190 or the 220 an outboard?
:D:D:D This is the mercury outboard forum.

No they are not, both are I/O. Sorry I did not see that part about outboards. I will try and delete this thread and repost someplace else.

No problem, kailec.

I will move it to the I/O Forum.
