Estamos dudando entre un Suzuki 200hp EFI o el Evinrude 150hp E-tec, por el tipo de navegacion que practicamos muy cerca de costa pensamos que un solo motor es suficiente. ¿Piensan que la diferencia de potencia es suficiente como para pensar en poner Suzuki o por el contrario la tecnologia E-tec puede ser suficiente para decidirnos por Evinrude? Gracias, (Excuse the translation) [color=blue]Our two old 140hp Evinrude VRO have already can give everything and we are looking to buy a single engine for our 22 Outrage. We are hesitating between a Suzuki 200hp EFI or 150hp Evinrude E-tec, by the type of navigation that we practice very close to shore think that one engine is sufficient. Do you think that the difference in power is enough to think of putting Suzuki or on the contrary E-tech technology can be sufficient to resolve by Evinrude?

Why limit yourself to the Evinrude 150, when the 200HP is the same weight? You should compare engines and prices for the same HP. The Suzuki 200 will always be faster than a 150 of any brand and probably use more gas. Choices for me are as follows, 1. Dealer Support 2. engine weight 3. price The Evinrudes are good engines, I am very happy with mine and I have a good dealer support in my area if I need it.

Doug Upon edit: I did not notice that your boat had the Whalerdrive with twin engines. I think a 200 will be OK, but a little more power would be better with the Whalerdrive. I understand that the additional hull surface of the Whalerdrive makes the 22 ride even nicer than a non-Whalerdrive hull, but also adds additional drag, hence the higher horsepower rating of the hull. Please post more pictures of your boat. It is a beauty. Edited by Doug V on 03/29/08 - 9:23 AM

That's why you have twin 140 hp now which gives you 280 hp. I think you have these 3 choices roughly. 1. A pair (2) of 150 hp engines 2. A single 225 hp engine 3. A pair (2) of 115 hp engines
