I'm running a 200 Merc and my V performs GREAT( zero porpoise, stern does not dig in at all)....I've seen 53 mph on GPS. Im sure they run great with a 150, but I would LOVE to hang a Yammie 250 2 stroke V-Max on the back!

You know I like fast but the opportunities to go fast are few and far between. I third or fourth Willy & FERM. Additionally I think a lightweight 4-stroke would be a strong consideration for me.

Once in a blue moon for me on Raritan Bay or the ocean around the tip of the Hook to run WOT.

friend of mine had his v out Sat for the first time and the motor first time since my rebuild and it ran great numbers no porpoise at all your motor isn't set right on your transom then it is to deep most likely. his has a 200 evinrude and it ran out with 15 x 17 ss prop 5500 rpm @ 49 mph and 2 adults 3 grade school kids.

Hey Skool, Im so used to running Makos that tend to have some porpoise when trimmed all the way...I cant get my V to porpoise even if I try.....to me I need to get the bow up a little more. I have studied the motor height and had my engine builder look at it also(He races outboards) and it looks perfect. I think next time she is on the trailer I may raise it a notch.....may take an hour or so....just to see what happens
