Re: Mercury XR2 + Black Max Same or Not ?
i'll take my 2.0L 135hp's over a 1.6L 135 inline any day. my v6's are bigger motors, cubic inch wise, and remember, the 135 inline was crank shaft rated and my 135 v6 is prop shaft rated, so its not even a accurate match, in my opinion at least.<br /><br />but yes, the black max and the xr2 are the same, mostly. the " black max" was just a branding name that merc used on their v6s during the late 80's or early 90's if im right. the xr2 was a "special" version of the black max. am i close?
