Repower 20'SF

Canes · #1 08-10-2006, 08:42 PM

I was wondering if anyone would use a 150 Yama HDPI to push a 20'SF? It currently has a 200 Johnson. I found the 150 for a really great deal, but I don't quite know about losing the 50 extra HP. Thanks in advance.

A 150 will be fine a 200 is over kill, my MA has one but it came with it.

ESD, Thats your opinion, I rather enjoy getting on a plane in the length of my boat.

I've been on Bobber's 20 with the 200 and didn't find it overkill, but the whiplash is much better now, thanks...

Don't get me wrong I am a gearhead and really like having the 200 ALOT. Just a 150 works just fine and he had a specfic motor in mind. I'm the one everybody argued about when I said 150 minimum when the guy was asking about a 115, remember.

I have a 2003 Johnson 150 two stroke on my 1971 SF 20 and it goes like hell, even with a boat load of people it climbs right up on plane and runs great. At 3000 RPM I cruise about 27MPH according to the GPS.

Thanks guys, I just bought the 150 I let you know how it works out when I get it rigged up. Later Ken

Yes the 200 will launch a 20 but he got a good deal on a 150, and that should be fine, the $$$ come into play.
