I posted this over in boats too, but there are some relevant OB questions in here, hence the crosspost.<br /><br />****<br /><br />I have the prospect (a friend of a friend is selling) of getting ahold of what im told is an immaculatean 82 aquasport center console, either a 19' or a 20' (NADA lists a model in that year of a 19'6" center console model) with a mid 90s 200hp Mercury OB, trailer, and T-TOp. I dont have all the exact specifics YET, but i was wondering if anyone here had experience /previous ownership of one of these critters:<br /><br />1) Any overall comments on the boat? Seaworthiness, build, ride?<br /><br />2) I'm having trouble locating specifics on this boat, as most of them over the last 20 years have been highly customized... What fuel cap, livewells, etc?<br /><br />3) Can anyone give me general fuel consumption on a mid 90s merc? (I know i cant give you a lot to go on here, no exact model, year, or fuel injection or not)?<br /><br />4) Any problems associated with these mid 90s big mercs? I dont want to walk into a ficht fiasco here on a motor.<br />I will post more exact specifics later - i just dont have them yet and my father is becoming forgetful of specifics in his 60s....It's like pulling teeth sometimes..

Not familiar with the details of the boat, but you can figure 10% of HP = WOT fuel use in GPH (i.e. 20 GPH @ WOT). 50 to 65% of that at 3800 to 4200 RPM.

an update on the boat: it's a 1982 aquasport CC with a bimini and a 1990 200HP merc. not quite what I had hoped for the price he was asking, but perhaps faced with NADA numbers i can pay what the boat is really worth.<br /><br />Anyone have any of these motors or had experience with the 200hp early 90s merc?
