150hp ob performance survey
Hi, gents.
I thought there was a thread that covered this, but I can't find it in my Searches. Those of you with or have had a 150hp outboard on your Steplift, what kind of top end and cruise speeds are you getting?
If my sick 175hp Johnny doesn't survive this weekend's minor surgery, I'll be looking to re-power. Early prospect is a nice, freshly rebuilt 150hp Merc, 2-stroke, carbed. When I say "fresh", it's practically a brand new engine all around. I'm also eyeing a 200hp Yammy EFI, but that's more money at the gas pump and up front. If the 150hp gives adequate performance, I'll just go with that.
I'm still considering a rebuild of the current motor, but that only covers the powerhead. That leaves a few more original parts than I care to rely on. If I repower (can only afford used), at least I get some kind of warranty out of the dealer.
