Other than that all is well and I look forward to fixing her up and getting back out there.

That was QUICK!!...she must be in pretty good shape to get her out that fast...that 150 oughtta get you a top speed of around 40 mph @ wide open throttle (WOT) w/a light load...good cruise around 30 and a pretty fair hole shot...find out what Yamaha's max recommended RPMs are on that motor and it should cruise comfortably and efficiently at 2/3 to 3/4 of that...
If you decide to replace the steering cable, I highly recommend Teleflex's No Feedback System...NFS 4.3 I think it is...it'll be much easier turning and have NO PULL to left or right...
Now I will tell you this...even good steering will feel heavy until you have the motor trimmed out right...is your trim & tilt working and did you trim her out once planned up?
