Re: 2003 mercury 150
Who talks $^%#@ about merc? I love the older 2 stroke motors. I got my hands on an optimax this past weekend and they seem pretty straight forward too. I still think those verado's are just WAY too big and heavy for outboards.
the best links I know of for mercs are: www.biggerhammer.net/mercury/ www.screamandfly.com www.byuboyz.com

What prop are you running on that 150? What are your cruise and WOT speeds? I have the same Seacraft Industries (SIC) hull as yours (mine's an '83), but I'm running a 200. I'd like to get an idea of how our hulls perform compared to Potters. I think the SIC hulls are a little heavier. I know the SIC SFs are 8" longer than the Potter SFs. Dave

Re: 2003 mercury 150
Ummm, well, I havent really got the feel of it yet(only on the sea trail) i bought the boat...but im STILL waiting to get it in my possession.
What I do know is that it has a mercury SS Prop, tops out at about 39 knots, and cruises around 30 knots. Pretty sure on this info. Are those the only diff. in the potter hulls and ours? How fast is urs?

Re: 2003 mercury 150
Mine cruises at 35mph @ 4200rpm and goes about 47mph gps WOT @ 5200rpm. Some of the guys with Potter 20s report speeds in the mid 50s with a 200.
