Default Re: 200 hp outboard on 23 Sceptre???

Quote:
I had a 1982 Sceptre with a carbed 200 Yamaha. It wasn't a speed demon however it didn't run bad at all. My cruise was 30 MPH and got 2.2-2.3 MPG and it would top out at 39-40 MPH.
We had a 1976 Johnson 200 and then a 1980 Evinrude 200 on our 1977 Sceptre 23 until 1988 (11 years total) and had the exact performance as above. It was very acceptable. In 1988 we opted for a Yamaha 225 Excel and the performance was increase to a 31mph cruise at 4200rpm and 42mph at WOT.
