Do you think it will happen? I pulled the following from SnF
"Getting the proper motor package for the new XR2002 and all light weight 18-21' boats out there needing re-powered is a campaign that everyone on this website, and others, will need, and get a chance to be involved in. I am soliciting help from Greg and have not heard back from him yet but I am sure I will. It can happen, not saying it will, but we will need to throw everything we have at it. The parts and pieces are available. No engineering really needed. Maybe some badging/stickers. We need a 200XS consumer motor with Sportmaster, solid mounts, 3 year warranty in 20" and 15" versions. Mercury is listening. Darris is OK with 435 lbs."
Maybe I should have bought Dave's 200XS ROS when he had it for sale here last year. I didn't have enough $US and it just bugs me to convert $Cdn back to $US. I get paid in $US and lose 2% going each way.
Maybe I should have bought the 200XS that MXZX bought. My mechanic friend told me not to.
A green motor will never make economic sense. I can keep buying gas for my old 225 PM. I'd just like to be able to cross a big lake without jerry cans.
