check this thread out....lots of talk about HP and top speed. My 150 gets me 37 mph but I think its a little tired. seems like most 150's get you 42-43 mph from what I've read and as Willy said the 150 seems to be a nice fit.

Thanks guys, i did find the performance site and went through the whole thing. Looks like the 150 is the best match and lighter the better. I did have a Zuki DF175 on my 2008 Carolina Skiff DLV238 but never got to really know the motor, i sold the rig with only 8 hours on it. I heard though that the DF150 has "lock up" problems and Suzuki knows about it but they have no fix yet.

I've got a '91 V w/ a '91 200 Yammi. I've hit 50 w/ 2 people, minimal gas, and a tail wind. If/when I repower it'll be a 150. If $$ weren't an isssue I'd enclose the transom and drop a 150 on a Porta-Bracket.

I have to say I feel the same way. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy my 200. It way outperforms my old 155 and burns less fuel doing it. Of course, my 155 was an '89 and plumb wore out. But the 200 is probably more than the PD needs, and a 150 will get the job done nicely.
