We ventured out into our bay, it was 2-3 ft wind blown, washing machine style chop. We just slowly tooled around in it, then ran back up the river towards our power plant. The winter top which is way to low for me to even dream of standing under was great, we stayed bone dry. The motor performed flawlessly. It planes right off, great top end. Very responsive. Gas gauge never moved. The boat seems to be propped perfectly. Overall I am very happy with our wellcraft and the yamaha 4 stroke 150. They are a great combo. We should be in our last cold snap here in NW FLA. Lets get on with summer.  |
You hit 46 mph at less than WOT -150hp outboard with the top up ?
WOW- that's very fast !!
That's the fastest I've ever heard of with 150 hp outboard.
As comparison, I have close to 1,000 hp ( ok, 200 HO which is around 218 hp at the prop)
and I'm just under 50 mph.
