I have a 1990 Outrage 22 WD with original twin 1990 Mercury 135 Black Max motors. The oil injection has been removed and the motors still run well. Under the right conditions she will still hit 50 mph but typically maxes out at 46. The issue with the motors is more corrosion related. I fear I'm losing the battle after 27 years of salt exposure. Along with the corrosion, fuel use and general age of the motors has led me to consider repowering the boat. Trying to keep in mind the weight on the transom I contacted a dealer here on the Texas coast about repowering with twin Suzuki DF140 motors. The weight is a bit more than the 135 motors but not excessive. The dealer gave me a price of $28,500 out the door. I did not expect that high of a number. Am I off base on the price? I will try another dealer as well as contacting a Mercury dealer regarding 115 Pro XS motors. The weight on these is below 400 lbs each. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
