Mercury fourstroke

[Sam365]

I bought a 2014 Bass Tracker 175txw. A 60 fourstroke was on it but I wanted 75 hp.  At that time the only option was a 75 opti.  I asked the dealer to put a 75 fourstroke on it and he did. The tag on motor says it’s a 2014built in January but it looks like a 2013 but has a 2014 decals.  It has 2.33 gears and it’s a 1.7 litre.  If you look up the 14 models it says it’s a 2.1 with 2.07 gears.  Is that the only differences and of course the cowl design.  It pushes my boat great and I have no issues just wondering why it changed mid year and what else is different.

So after spending all that money.....what did that give you 2..3 MPH?   Geeees

He probably also got an engine he will not need to run as hard most of the time, and perhaps a better hole shot. I am a firm believer in setting a boat up with max HP. They usually run better that way.

yep you right about that, I wish they would increase max hp I really believe it could handle 115.
