Repower 20'SF
 

I was wondering if anyone would use a 150 Yama HDPI to push a 20'SF? It currently has a 200 Johnson. I found the 150 for a really great deal, but I don't quite know about losing the 50 extra HP. Thanks in advance.

A 150 will be fine a 200 is over kill, my MA has one but it came with it.

ESD, Thats your opinion, I rather enjoy getting on a plane in the length of my boat. :rolleyes:

I have a 2003 Johnson 150 two stroke on my 1971 SF 20 and it goes like hell, even with a boat load of people it climbs right up on plane and runs great. At 3000 RPM I cruise about 27MPH according to the GPS.

Thanks guys, I just bought the 150 I let you know how it works out when I get it rigged up. Later Ken

Yes the 200 will launch a 20 but he got a good deal on a 150, and that should be fine, the $$$ come into play.

I've been on Bobber's 20 with the 200 and didn't find it overkill, but the whiplash is much better now, thanks...

Don't get me wrong I am a gearhead and really like having the 200 ALOT. Just a 150 works just fine and he had a specfic motor in mind. I'm the one everybody argued about when I said 150 minimum when the guy was asking about a 115, remember.

The old engine is now off the boat. I will be installing the new one this week, and be fishing by next weekend. :D
Thanks for all the feedback. Ken
