I have a 20' 1982 falcon and blew the mercury outboard 150. Now what horsepower to replace and where to look.

Moon Marine in Pottsboro has been awesome.

Solid Motorsports in Sherman is a ripoff. Thanks for taking my money and not doing the repairs as paid for.

now if I swap powerheads do I have to change lower unit/prop? can I change the cowl? Will it have a title of say for instance 08 or the 1984 thats on there now?

And last but not least pros and cons to carb or EFI?

I have the ability to put any cowling you want on it. Look at my motor on my website, that is an 87 power head an 89 midsection or leg and a 97 200 lower unit and a 96 cowling system. Just tell me what you want, I can make it happen, I have cowlings lower units exhaust tuners. Lets just make it happen. Cary carysmobilemarine.com
