steplift performance w/150 yamaha 4 stroke

[Jetty Rocker]

I had to put off repowering this year since I built a shop and have plans for replacing my floor and repairing/replacing my stringers. I am definitely going with the f-150 and I am figuring an average of 4 mpg.

You can use these to get a good idea of what it will do, just find a test with a boat of similar size and hull design as you V and you will be pretty close.

If I had it to do over...it'd be an E Tech...which was not available in this HP range when I needed a motor...even more so now they've been out for a few years and proven themselves...

they are nice motors, but make sure you have a dealer that knows what they are doing with them.

In 07 we repowered with an Etec 150. Couldn't be more pleased. The top end we acheived was 46MPH at 5100 Rs with a stainless prop. Lumber has a 200HP Etec which is the same as the 150 with some computer adjustments. Just as cterrebonne says make sure your dealer knows what he's doing with the Etec. Billy Mac
