The consensus is 150 HP is perfect, and I agree, but it is nice to know I have that extra 25HP to spare if needed. Mine cruises anywhere from 30-35 on the GPS but have had it up to 43 on the river. Haven't worked on that motor you have but I'm learning a lot about this old Mercury. What sort of troubles your motor having?
How would you like to get together and go over our boats? Right now I many problems but the most pressing is getting the motor right.

The carbs are weaping fuel. I have ordered kits but I feel a little gun shy when it comes to carbs. Trying to get the synced, to me is the hardest part. Also I have wiring issues (not to keep it off the water), needs glass/gel coat repairs, and paint.
