Hey FishStretcher -

I kept the seastar and I am pretty happy I did. Bleeding it has been a pain and I continue to watch the fill level to make sure it is not going to burp up any more air. The lines are a little longer than what I needed which likely doesn't help. But it is pretty effortless to steer. We spent the day out running it today and I am getting a feel for the trim tabs as well. The speedo is not hooked up so I can't give you any numbers yet. She is not a speed demon but jumps right up on plane and cruises nicely. I probably won't bother with the yamaha speedo but will get back to you after I hook up the gps and check speed that way. I will try to report back some performance and efficiency next weekend.

What about the new Mercury 4 stroke SOHC engines? The 150 weighs 455-460, which is about 30-35 more than the 150 E-tec, but the new 115 Command Thrust model weighs 355 with e 25 inch shaft, about 50 pounds less than the Suzuki DF140. What kind of performance might you expect with the that 115 swing the big 150 hp size prop?
