I just re-powered my friend's 1980 Mako with a 250 Suzuki. It had the old 235 Johnson on it. I installed U-Flex Hyd. steering also. Boat runs out real nice.
The motor and rigging came from Chestnut Neck Boat Yard. Great people to deal with.
Not a fan of Verados at all. I would do an E-Tec over a Verado. But the E-Tec is 2 stroke and your going to have to use XD 100 oil.
