I am looking for a 200HP Merc Opti or EFI early 2000 with decent hours. I am open to reputable rebuilders that have engines for sale or maybe someone in the basscat family has a spare around? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Brian

well if it where me. i would be goin with a EFI. cheaper to rebulid. and yes it may use a bit more gas. but u save money on oil. u don tneed to buy the DFI oil just reg merc oil. and aways when your flat out. they are the same on gas. olny saves on mid range. but u look at the to prices for the two oils and u can make up your own mind. and the 3.0L EFI 200 are one of the best bulit

I have a 135 opti on my Hydra-Sports and a 150 EFI on my Cat and from my experience I have loved the EFI hands down. All I do is….Prime & Start early in the morning and shes good to go. I want to update during the winter since I will be offshore fishing and its cheaper than bass fishing so the money I will save will allow me to do a little upgrade. Thanks for all the positive input and look foward to more. Regards, Brian

Derek, I spoke with Jamie and right now the only thing they have is a 94 200 EFI which everything is right however being in the equipment business, Once they stop making a particular model it becomes difficult to find parts so I will call them from time to time to see if a 2000 range year model comes in. GREAT PEOPLE. Jamie was the most professional guy that I have talked with so far. Tells you the truth, not what you want to hear to make a sale. I admire that so for who ever reads this. Call Jamie or Danny at Gwinns boat repair (they are a dealer for basscat). Friendly folks A+. Regards, Brian
