Bsteckel, on another note, there are guys running 85 HP and 90 HP outboards on their V's here and they, while not "fast", are fuctional. So don't be worried about being underpowered with anything over that.

for sure on that, ask Whale how Old School does with a 1999 115 hp johnson , it was plenty and then some. if I was going to be loaded up with a whole family and pulling adult skiers up out of the water regulary then a 150 would have been the ticket but the 115 did it. For fishing all day with a crew and coolers and all the paraphenalia that goes with it plus a full enclosure up she flew around 33=35 top end.
Cruise at around 23-35 was sweet and used very little gas.

The search may be over, found this one today for ya. I believe 2001 was the last year for the 2.0L 150's.

if the guy ever calls me back that has the 200 hp yamaha (1992). but this motor has no controls. how much am i looking at for controls??? i assume mine will not work from the sea drive..

also stumbled on some new postings ...

1998 johnson 150 with controls 25" $1900

1988 merc blax max 175, 25", new water pump installed $1400/ bo

i reall like the 150 fermanator posted .. but looking at near $4000 with shipping ... would not have $$ left for the other plans i have :) but not out of the question yet.

Good engine but thirsty.

Excellent canidate, most likely a 2.0L in that year range.

A bit heavy, and thristy.

This one is right up there close to the big JOHNNY-RUDES in weight, but good on gas.

that suzuki looks real nice .. but my boat can only handle 200 hp!!! arrgh.

what am i looking at for additional costs buying a motor with no controls?

kamikaze .. does your motor have controls? is the power head used? the motor looks real nice.
