Re: It's time to re-power.
 

In the gallery, in the 1994 Wellcraft manual for the V21, it shows that with the 60 gallon tank and a Yamaha 150 o/b (carbed) the cruise range is 199 miles at 8.0 gph. Is that Johnson a pre-1986 model??

That is well over the 100 - 140 miles you are looking for. Unless that Johnson is pretty old, it should give you that kind of range. But, on second thought, I think I know what you are saying cause you'd like to at least have a little left over after 100 to 140 miles rather than using every last drop!

I just received my new copy of Great Lakes Angler and there is an article on the Suzuki 175. I'll try to email you the article. I'll need your email address. bill Mc ;D

Re: It's time to re-power.
 

Yeah, Will...lotta GREAT bottom fishin' at 90' out there and this time of year a feller could have a ball in a V20 Kingfishin'...you're after what I had in mind when I added 2-40 gal(removed 2-20s) tanks to mine...at the time I's pushin' w/an '86 gas-guzzlin' Rude...but now there's plenty... ;D...

Re: It's time to re-power.
 

I replaced my old Evinrude 155 with a Yamaha 200 HPDI, and I love it. I am averaging 5 GPH, which is better than my old motor! ;D

Re: It's time to re-power.
 

That's what I wanted to hear. I have found some good deals on 2-3 year old low hour HPDIs.

Re: It's time to re-power.
 

We went to 120' yesterday. Beautiful day that my boat could have handled if it weren't for the range. Went in a friend of mines boat. We caught Grouper(scamps and gags), Cobia, Triggers, amberjacks and 20 or so 2-3lb black sea bass. That was just about 90 miles round trip. I want to do that in my boat.

Re: It's time to re-power.
 

Sounds like a good fishin' trip...those Sea Bass are the TASTIEST darlins in the bunch!! ;D...

Yeah, I wanna do it in mine too, but my wife says she's got a headache!!!... ::)... :P...

Re: It's time to re-power.
 

A low hour Yama OX66 would be a good motor, I hear the 200 HPDI's are a solid motor, Merc I believe has a 175/200 hp Verado. A friend who has a Sweetwater dealership in Sanibel Fla say's the Etec by Bombardier is the heat (maintenance and fuel wise)...

Dont know, I'm partial now because I run the Yamaha HPDI and it's been a good motor.

Take a look at Ed's Marine Superstore, they usually run some decent sales on motor's new and clearance:
