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

I got my Johnzuki from Chatlee, they loaded it in my pickup for me and sent in the warranty card as well.

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.

Leaning towards that DF175 because I can get it for $8k and with a warranty. I have a couple of questions though:
1. How much does it usually cost to install an outboard? 2. What would be a good pitch/prop for this motor and a V20 Center Console? Just got a quote for $975 for an install...too much? THanks, Rey Last edited by reyb; 10-17-2008 at 11:31 AM.

1. Don't know, I put mine on myself.
2. Thats gonna be a trial and error there.....the gear ratio on the 175 is 2.50:1 which is close to the 2.59:1 on my 140, but with the extra ponies, it will need a different prop. Just as a starting place, I am running a 14" diameter x 21 pitch aluminum prop. Hopefully your dealer will have some experience with similar rigs and can get close.....if not, just make sure they agree to swap props with you til you get it right.

Bought it brand new, installed myself, full warranty (which I never needed), but mine is a Johnson and it was in 2003.
I think things are different now.
