Default Re: Merc Opti Performance Report - 20 Master Angle

My 150merc from 1981 will do 41.4 with a dinged aluminum prop and your 130 yamaha is even faster with 2 people, full tank, will do 42.? with the stock aluminum prop.

Those numbers are kind of embarrassing . . . considering how much hype there is around the power of these Optimax's.

Man . . . my seafari which is heavier w/ chunky bottom paint will do 47+ mph turning the same prop and that motor is a 29year old non-oiler, non-fingerported, vertical reed, 200 which is supposedly only 160 - 165hp (prop) from the factory.
