I have had 2 202s. One had a 300 Yamaha and one had a 300 Mercury. The one with the Mercury would run in the 90s depending on prop. All the way up to mid 80s, it was one of the best handling fast boats I've been in. The one with the Yamaha, never saw over 78. I think something was wrong with the pad. I've drove a lot of boats, and I could not drive that one. It was horrible. A mexican, legit with a Mexico driver's license bought it from for crappie fishing.
