Default Re: What is the best outboard, Honda, Yamaha, Merc

Check with your insurance company regarding the hp limit for your boat. I have a 1972 20' Seafari OB model with an very odd original sticker that says Max HP: 240.
I have a 150 Merc that pushes it to 50 mph lightly loaded, and cruises at 34 heavily loaded. How much faster do you need?
