    Good information. That Pathfinder looks great for a 2002. I have a 2001 that's not as pretty but still gets the job done.

    Best 2-stroke motor on the market and out performs those Mercury 4-strokes, hands down. Better fuel economy, better emissions, better power, etc. I do understand sponsors though, so get it.
    P.S. Mercury supplies the parts to repair that engine.

      @@BrianLatimerFishing went from Mercury to Evinrude. The 225 E-tec G2 was the best I’ve used. Now Mercury owns it/most of it and supplies the parts to fix them when broken.

    Man, great advice. About 10yrs ago, I got into a whole can of worms trying to repower a 1972 Boston Whaler with a brand new Mercury Outboard. EVERYTHING went wrong and I wasn't prepared for any of it.
    Bottom line: it's a heck of a lot more than the cost of the engine.

    A little late now but the reason you don't see many black Mercury motors on offshore boats is the black holds heat and caused issues with motor performance. Thats why they sell motors with white cowlings. That being said, when we taking that bad boy out?
