Anyone running the new four stroke 150 ProXS? I know it's not a ton of power, but at least it is reasonably light. It is putting out 163 HP at the prop, has low water pickup and stiffer mounts, not a bad little engine.
Some of the 4 cylinder engines out there, 175 Vmax SHO, Merc 150, etc. could be tuned to 200+ HP. I wonder if the aftermarket would be strong for something like that? They are quite a bit more affordable than the big V6s and 8s. The new V6 Mercs are way over 500 Lbs in the real world. So the weight advantage is there too.
