Etec 200 HO

[bradford]

Went out yesterday and thought of y'all.

Me, the Wifey, two 50 pound dogs, cooler full of drinks, ice, and picnic lunch, 55 gallons of gas, no top on the V or the wife.

Ran 25 knots at 4000 rpms trimmed in pretty close, 30 knots at 4500 trimmed out, 35 knots at 5000 rpms also trimmed out. Pretty clean break down there. Ran both directions in Bull river to factor in the tidal current, light east wind, but the river was very calm wave action wise.

That would be your V with 150 hp Etec ? That's fine performance...and likely easy on the fuel too..........

That's quite fast with 150 hp.

It's not bad I guess, but I miss the "peel your eyelids back and make you cry" ability of the old 225.

Yeah, but I bet that 150 doesn't drink 25 gallons per hour when you hammer down. My old ported 225 I had would suck back 28+ when I hammered down on it.
