I have a 2001 SeaCraft20 w a 150 Etec. I have nothing to compare it with, but it jumps on plane and I am quite satisfied and love the Etec. Fishstu is right about going airborn. This is definately a limiting factor and it occurs at less than 3'. I feel that you can back off of power but you can't use power that isn't there. Underpowered boats are very sensitive to weight. If you put a load in your boat.........gas, coolers, Ttop, people, I'd consider the 150. It's nice to have some reserve power.
