nice rig Blue Runner.

I am about to upgrade my motor 2003 Yamaha 150HP TRCX to 2006 Honda 4 stroke 225HP for 2004 V21 Steplift.

I am still sitting on the fence on this one. Will this really save me gas or it will be just about the same fuel consumption as the current motor I own.

Pike, what are you getting with your '03 150? I have the same motor only its a 2004. I get about 2.5 mpg. If I had to guess I'd say you will see some savings. How much I have no idea. Let us know how it goes.

So you have one of those new '04 V21 models? Got any pics of it? How do you like it?

I wouldn't do that if I were you. It's WAY to heavy for a V-20/V-21. A member had one before and ended up getting rid of the whole boat because it performed poorly, and porposed severely.

Search is our eternal friend.

Pink Jeep

I appreciate your comment. The weight difference between 150 and 225 is 178 lbs.

I think I should post a new thread and poll around to get input before I do anything.

Thanks again.
