Already tested this with full fuel tank, 4 adults over 200lbs with everyone behind the console. The boat jumps right up on plane. Just did a 120 mile trip a few days ago . . . with 3 guys 90 gallons, gear, full baitwell (35 gallons). Merc 150 makes max torque at 3000rpm vs. yamaha 150 which peaks at 5400rpm.
