repower question...

[spareparts]

the 175 zuki wheighs close to the 150, so no or only a small weight penalty over the 150. BTW, I thinks Ed's got in trouble over the Yamaha's, he could have gotten in trouble over both, who knows. I heard Chat-Lee got in a stink a couple of years ago selling e-tecs without installing them

Thanks for the correction...When I bought my v20 in '89 I had a Yamaha 225hp put on it. The marina I bought it from said it was "overkill" and said the Yamaha was nicknamed "cheater motor" because it was actually putting out between 235-240hp. I never confirmed this. It was a match made in heaven.

When I changed power in '99 it killed me to drop down to the Yamaha 200hp but I did, because the 225 and up would have added all that extra weight.

I miss that extra horsepower.
