I need to re power my 2000 Osprey 22.5 from a 2000 Yamaha OX66 to either a 2001 Yamaha 250hp OX66 (450 hrs - $4200 for the engine) or 2005 Mercury 200hp Optimax (750 hrs - $3000 with rigging and gauges) or 2007 Yamaha F200 4 stroke (750 hrs - $4800 ) I am not sure if my current control box will work for the newer 4 strokes.
All have good compression. I am wondering if anyone has an approximate idea concerning re rigging hours/costs ( service labor hours) might be changing from the Yamaha to Merc, and how difficult it is on the Osprey 22.5 model. I know this is a question that is without so many other important details and facts excluded, but, what others think or know about this choice and/or experience.
I think some may think my questions may belong on a Yamaha or Mercury forum, but this question IS boat specific, thus here I am ....
Thank you for your time and considerations !!
