[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 219365, member: 843"] I drove a yarcraft 18' side console with a Honda on it and it was a dog and also had porposing issue. If three guys were in the boat one would have to move to the front some to help it plane out. It wasn't my boat so I didn't play around with it much. I do remember the weight specs on those outboards was really high. Find the recommended max RPM's of the engine and find prop selection (stainless) from there. However I don't think you will get close to 150 Yamaha performance. Just an update, the engine mentioned above was a 135hp (I believe it was same platform as the 150hp). Could have been the main reason for the lack of performance. Especially when compared to the 125 class engines which had some considerable weight savings. [/QUOTE]
