Re: worn out 150's
I would have to agree coming from commercial background of replacing engines frequently. There is no replacement for displacement. Having an under powered boat is like buying a corvette driving it with all 8 firing then taking 4 of the plug wires off and running on 4. I would keep looking around or find a reputable motor rebuilder and have a chat with him. I have always had a single engine on all of my boats. The only place twins saves you is on a mechanical failure. Most of the time it is a fuel problem which would in turn affect both engines at same time. I purchased a motor form a rebuilder up here in the northeast and ran the motor for 3000 hours before the hour meter broke. Cost of the rebuilt motor 2800 for single 200 johnson. I am a finatic for maintenance and synthetic oils.
Just my .02
