I have been driving boats equipped with Mercury motors for years, and the experience just gets better and better.  Last season I had a 115 Pro XS strapped on the back of the Smoker Craft 202 and was very pleased with the performance and fuel efficiency of that motor.  This year I have been driving a Kingfisher Escape 2025 and have the Mercury 150 Four Stroke powering the boat.  As with the previous Mercury motors it is operating flawlessly.  Fully loaded with anglers, fuel and gear I can cruise easily at 37 mph.  That’s because this engine is an 8-value single overhead cam, in-line four cylinder.  This 3 liter power plant packs a punch and promises years of problem-free operation.  It runs just fine on unleaded 87 octane fuel, too.  If you are looking to power a new boat or re-power your present fishing machine, this would be a great choice.  You can get more details on the specifications of this fine piece of equipment at www.mercurymarine.com.
