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?
