Listen to Big. I hate to keep the hp on the low end, but weight and balance on an acceptable lower HP motor trumps higher HP all day in a tuff inlet or sea. Who cares if you can punch it in the inlet when the weight that the power you choose makes it where staying on plane requires heavy throttle and a chance to stuff the bow because the boat doesn't stay on plane. I would go 150 ETEC like Ron has if I were making a choice of 2 150's. The weight is at least 35lbs less on the ETEC vs. the 150 Yamaha
