2 Are you mounted on the transome or bracket
3 do you have a noticable difference in noise level at the console ?

1. My 18' is max rated for 150hp. The dealer told me that there is very little difference between the 150 and the 175, maybe 10-15 hp.
2. I am transom mounted
3. the etec is much quieter than my old Yamaha at idle, cruise and somewhat quieter at WOT.
As is, the boat cruises real nice at 35-37mph burning 7-8 gph or 4.5-5.2 mpg. I was hoping to hit 50mph but was probably being too optimistic.
