New motor on the way !

I think 200 would have been overkill, little gain in performance, loss of some fuel economy and more money to boot ;)
 
I was able to get out and put a little time on the new motor this weekend . It is sweet ! It is much more quite than my 1994 , Yamaha 150 . I'm also turning up an easy 5500 RPM's with the old prop . Before all I could get with a full trim was 5200-5300 . The speedo reads 46 mph and before all I could get was 42-43 . I have not been able to check it with a GPS yet . That is on my list for spring as I am going to replace my loran .
 
THUMBS way UP, Labii...you gettin' some serious WOT outta that motor...what prop you turnin'?...what's mfgr max RPM recommendation?... 8) 8) 8)...
 
15 1/4 x 17 . I kept the one that was on my old motor . Yamaha says 4500-5500 rpm range . I only had it W.O.T for a few seconds . I have less that two hours on it .
