i had the exact same year/boat up until this winter when I sold her and bought new.
i would reccomend suzuki 140 for a 4 stroke, or if you like spending some serious $$$ a would consider a 2 strok, get the etec 150.
i have a friend with a '69 19' with a yam 90 4 stroke and it could use more power. it is not a light boat...
I know a lot about your boat. would be happy to help whenever you need it, shoot me a PM.

good point. 4 strokes are known for producing less hp then they say they do. look at the 225 yammie, it only produces 205 HP. also they have less torque then comparable 2 strokes |

like i said, i would reccomend the 140HP zuke, but you would do ok with the 115. From what I hear, you would save 50% in fuel if you went 4 stroke with the zuke or 2 stroke with the etec.
the 115hp costs around 7K. 140 around 8K. etecs are considerbably more, i think over 10k for the 150hp.
figure another grand to install it. you could do it yourself, i have done it twice, but it is a pain in the ass, and i paid for the service the last time....

the new hpdi 2 strokes are more fuel efficient than a 4 stroke. it is a trade off now. the biggest difference is maintanence intervals and how oil is added.

All i know is I cant wait to put her in the water  |

Mako's are great boats. I have a 215 with a honda 150 on it. It is slow as balls but its also a tank. This boat really takes the rough stuff well.
Congrats! Classicmako.com is a great referance site for ya.
IMO go with more power. You'll get a longer life out of the motor if you aren't working it so hard during its life. I just learned the hard way and I'd do anything to change my 150 for a 225 (except pay for it)

new 2 strokes are as efficient as 4 strokes but are pretty expensive.... Most 2 strokes need dealer maintence after 300 hrs where 4 strokes are usually 100-200... My dealer said the alarm will go off at 100 hrs. but just to bring it in real quick and at 200 hours we will do the maintence. DF 60-70 price out at 5-7K with controls and install so im guessing the 90-115 tier are somewhere 8-10 ish.(suzuki im talking)

Best three sites for you to go to for information are ClassicMako.com and ClassicSeacraft.com and Continuouswave (Whalers). Just about all the info on doing old boats you could possibly need...

You should look at leftovers or hpdi used engines. Alot of people still want the 4 strokes, so there are some out there.

The two strokes do have advantages over the 4's.
1. longer maintenance intervals
2. more torque
3. better fuel efficiency in lots of cases
4. they weigh less, usually 1/3 less on larger motors |

popcorn sounds good - I was reading another site where a couple of "rockstars" were giving lessons on finding birds with radar and running them down - just the type of crap I love (esp come tuna time). Somebody else came up with a great recipe to counteract this involving oatmeal, a cup of bunker oil, and not so cryptic messages over the vhf. Bet their sweet arses I'm breaking that out this season.
-sorry to add to the highjack -- great boat eben, we had a 19' mako about the same vintage when I was a little kid - wish I had it myself now.
