Etec 200 HO
My 96' V21 with full fuel ( 60 gallons ) two on board (375 lbs), top up and maybe another 50 lbs of gear.........running in the ocean, calm 1' -2' assorted wave action.
Can throttle down to 3,500 and hold plane.......best slow plane being around 3,800 rpm with low to mid 20's in knots...... No fuel meter so maybe burning 8-10 gallons per hour ? Not sure........ Anyway.........any comparisons, not for mine / yours faster ........just for comparative HP performance.

About the same with my 150 ETEC. Will plane at 3500 or so, but seems to have a sweet spot around 4000 for slow planing. Planes out well between 4400-4800 for good decent general cruising, about 28-31 knots. You can tell she's sucking down a lot more fuel past 4500. 14 1/4 X 17 stainless Solas prop. No tabs.

Interesting......performance seems fairly close. The 200 HO is 3.3 liter so expect more grunt, but 150 solid.
Back when I had the 150 carb'd it ran 35 + top speed. Some report as fast as 42 mph with 150. I forgot what speed I'm getting at 4, 4.5 and 4.8 rpm, but I'll check next time. Lot depends on sea condition, fuel and load but interesting anyway. Thanks for posting.

Capt Pete, That chrome zamak fitting on the end of that windshield support on Sir Sponge Bob has seen better days. I looked around and couldn't find any spares laying around. A shame they don't make those fittings in stainless..
I am still loving my Optimax too, those are some impressive figures and close to the 250 XS. I bet there isn't spit difference between the two motors, a little timing prolly, that is why they say to run high test fuel in the XS or so I was told... The 200 HO E-tec is an impressive motor. Underrated, and I love that it is so quiet. I guess the 150 is just as quiet. These two strokes have the punch that the four strokes are striving for. Nearly there IMPO, they have come a long way fast in 4-strokes. I wonder what is in store for the 2-strokes moving forward? Do they have a future with CARB standards getting tighter and tighter. Assume for a moment that they are clean enough, the perception is going to be hard to overcome...Glad the E-tec contingent are pleased with their products. Nothing like a little real world feedback from owners without the agenda...Good stuff

Just posted this in another thread. I have '85 v20. Just ran it for the first time with 2008 etec 200HO yesterday. Didn't have it propped quite right as it was only turning 5100rpm, but at just above 50mph running on glass it started to chine walk. We had a very light load (half tank fuel, no gear, 2 adults). Prop was 21" Viper. Gonna try 19" prop.

A 19 will be a better fit in my opinion and should bump the rpms up some.
