I notice Mercury has found a replacement for the 115 pro xs 2 stroke. It is the 115 4 stroke pro xs. Sounds like a great motor. I'm ready to buy a ranger 188 but now wonder if I should wait a few months for this new motor.

Look at the new Suzuki 4 strokes.
I have a 115 merc 4 stroke I believe built by Tohatsu that has around 1500 hours on it
So far not any problems
Used so much that wore battery cable out from motor movement
I thought the starter was bad.
I'm running a Merc 115hp 4 stroke, 2006 model. Best motor I've ever had. Not a single problem. It's on a 2006 Lund 'Crappie Edition'. Not the fastest boat on the lake by any means but, gets me where I want to go safely!
Mine is 05Quote:

I think I can manage a little more speed with a different prop because I easily over rev with the 10x12p that I have now.

My bad, I just checked the plate. It's actually rated for a 135.Quote:
