Looking for advice
I have an '88 v 20 with a 2005 yamaha 150hp 2 stroke with roughly 250 hours. I am second owner and have never had a problem with the engine. I am thinking about having the boat redone with some modifications. My question is, would you keep this engine and worry about repower later. OR, suck up the extra expense and repower when the boat is redone? I have heard these engines are workhorses and last a long time.
Thank You Greg

If it's the carbed 150 2 stroke I would keep it until it either blows or rots away(chances are it will rot away first). The 150 carbed engines is one reliable workhorse.

Yep,don't fix what ain't broke! 250 hrs.on that engine makes its practically new. Concentrate your efforts into more important thing on the boat,like enjoying it!

I completely agree with the rest of the comments here. You have a great motor that's factory matched (HP wise) to your boat. Don't fix what ain't broken.. use the money for beer and wild wimmin'
