Well still have some work no psi as yet dont have a tap,but took it out for a spin,forgot tach was set on 4 for a v6,took it back out again as idle is off and linkage,still is but not as much.
Idles at 5.3 without the pasi reading was hesitant to lift it any was deep with a 24 p raker.
Planing wasnt smooth as large wheel ,have installed a small whale tail so should help.
Lake was rough 2 fters closely packed ,wind 15 steady.
4275-48.6 mph,wanted to pop up a bit on the front so conditions somewhat limited the runs,lots of pedal left shurely will do 60 out of the box and deep
Motor is about what a 115 ho would have in pep and vinegar light weight the lightest of all the 140 hp at 296,the others are 306 area,315 for a 25 in.
2:25/1 gear ratio-24 P raker-1977 T140 Johnson outboard
Bang for the buck-yes as cost less than my hydraulic Jackplate
For those interested Titus will do a small gearcase for 475 and the stabil fin inc.
Oh and while it has no tell tail pea hole,if one stands over the motor almost you can view what comes out its like twin facuets more water than a pea hole.

Re: Show time


Yeah please!I bet that thing will drop 65 out the box and do it in a quarter.

Put a Min-kota on the front to keep her down.I would leave the pedal loose though so you can move it fore and aft to get that weight just right for skinny dippin. emoticon

Re: Show time


Got one on the front but hand control.
Part of the problem with the nose was how deep the motor was on the rear,generally takes 2 1/2 to have the nose wanting to get air.
Also deeper one gets a wake behind it when you slow down,getting so I turn it a tad when I shut it down.
65 is not out of reach but with a nose cone and higher up,I suspect
Its the first year model and whimpy to some degree over later years,yet the price was right.Would I stay up all day drive all night and half the next day to get one again heck yeah.
It is at the very least a fishin mota to get me back out and a fishin.

Re: Show time


Its entirely possible one bristling with hp may actually pass me.
While i make fun of black motas I like the 200 xs stats,the 150 leaves a lot to be desired like another brand.Mercs own figgures a 150 xs on a 186 stratos -58 mph,that plain sucks.
So those things Ill be passing no problemo,as for the alley they also have a rep for handling like a 17 fter and going in tight places,im just adding skinny, to the list havnt a clue why no one has prior.
As doesnt take a lot to float it,even two up and gear,only things that go by me have mud buddies on them.
