i bought an '01 210 hull and powered it with a 140 johnson df which is the same engine.
for protected water and inshore it is fine . however, we have a top 5 worst inlet to go out of here and there are times i would prefer to have a 175 e tec to push me thru the rough stuff. i have to set my propulse prop to a smaller pitch to get 'er revved up to punch thru that inlet and then set it higher if i am in less hostile stuff. i doubt i will ever use it enough to ever need major repair work done on it ,but i cringe to think how much it is going to hurt to have that engine worked on compared to a 2 banger.
just my $.25--inflation you know!!!
