I realize this is a stale thread, but I'm curious if anyone has any additional feedback/updates about these new 2.1L Mercury 4-strokes, especially the 90 HP version being used on the latest Montauk 170s?

They sure sound like an improvement over the previous generation of 1.7L engines. They've been out for about a year now, so maybe there is more experience, or even hearsay, to report.

Also, does anybody know if Whaler has updated or will update the performance stats for the Montauk 170 to reflect the new engine? It's not clear to me whether the following Performance Data is with the old engine or the new 2.1L?
