However the small block 2.7L V-6 E-Tec at 433 lbs is a much stronger motor. The 150 is actually 165 at the prop with tons of mid-range torque and should give you mid to upper 40's. The 175 & 200 may have a little less mid-range torque, but should have enough top end power to put you over 50 mph.
the 150 Etec is one of the strongest ponies out there, seems they maxed the allowed 10% allowence on HP - even compared to their other motors


having water come in with no one in the boat with a 135 2 stroke the boat had other issues, nobody with V6's have that issue, mine won't, full of fuel and the baitwell full and a T top
