Re: What is the best outboard, Honda, Yamaha, Merc
My 1970 SF was rated for 225HP. At todays standards that would be a rocket!! I currently run a carbed (tricked -out)
1998 200 HP Merc. I carry 80 gallons in a custom aluminum tank. Top speed with a light load is 62 mph. It gets a little spooky above 55 mph, it starts to chine walk on the trim tabs, by the way which are 12 x 24 Bennett's.
I have friends that have 175HP and they are more then satisified. A 150HP at todays standards would be more than sufficient.
Good Luck, Ken
