Default 1996 Mercury Black Max 200 Pair 180 hours
I would like to re-power my Ranger with 225 Optis. These Black Maxes have ~180 hours on them, run great, on my 25' Ranger I cruise at 30kts at 4000RPMs and get about 1.5MPG with a top end somewhere around 46kts, achieved with 1/2 tank gas (100g) and 7 girls in bikinis this summer, so your results may vary. When I got the boat they had 140 hours on them and supposedly one had a brand new powerhead as the oil pump failed and kablam, so I mix the oil and gas in the tank so nothing can fail. Very quiet for 2 strokes, can be water tested on my Ranger with deposit.

$5500 with SS props and no controls or make an offer.

Now have 230 hours, average 1.7MPG, burned 130 gallons on a 200 mile roundtrip stream trip a little while ago with 5 guys, 200 gallons of fuel, 200lbs of ice in the boat. (2200lbs + gear & beer). Also when looking over them the other day I realized they both have 2002 200 EFI powerheads, so these powerheads have about 130 hours on them.

When I get the boat back I will take pics of the models.

VRO? Isn't that a Evinrude/Johnson deal? 25" Shafts
