I have a 2001 150 Opti on mine with a 21" s/s prop on it. Runs fine, but I'm only getting about 4,800 rpms at WOT, 39 max mph. I swapped this motor onto this boat and then put a jackplate on it, so I knew I'd probably be looking at a new prop. Does anyone have a similar setup and if so, what...

Getting ready to paint and can't locate the code. Anyone able to help? Thanks Gary

Sorry in advance for starting this, but I do have a good reason. Its time for a new tow vehicle and for weeks I've been looking for a 2007 or newer Suburban or Avalanche to replace my 2005 Avalanche with 180k on it. I do a lot of work for GM, so an American car is a must. A friend of mine works...

Tearing my boat apart for a paint job and took the opportunity to install the jackplate to fix my 25" motor on a 20" transom problem. Looks pretty high but when we checked it with a straight edge, the cavitation plate was even with the bottom of the boat. Also, by the time we got it on there, I...

I'm in the process of stripping my boat getting ready for paint and I'm going to repair the lockers while I have them out. I have a gallon of resin I bought from lowes stored in my basement from a few years ago and plan on using it for the job unless anyone knows of a reason I shouldn't. Thanks...

Mines an 83, has the fuel tank closer to the transom (see pic) with an storage area under the floor between the driver and passenger and will need a majority of the floor replaced sometime in the next winter. My question has to do with this: When I first got this boat, it had a bad Mariner 200...

I have a 150 Optimax, 25" shaft with a 19" pitch stainless prop on my 20" transom V. I bought the TH Marine jack plate to get me 5" of lift and 4" of offset from the transom, just haven't had the time to install it yet..... currently, I'm getting between 5000 and 5100 rpms, with a speed of about...

Ok, finally got the whole thing put together and hit the water today.. Here's a list of what we did. -Removed the 1982 200hp blown Mariner and replaced it with a 2001 150hp Optimax. Both are 25" but the transom is a 20", seems to work ok, PO said he never had any problems, ran it this way for...

Been lurking for quite awhile. I gotta say, the loyal fans of this boat on this site greatly influenced my decision to go ahead and buy this boat, even considering it's age. Got mine a few weeks ago after a very bad aluminum deckboat experience left me with a Merc 150 Otimax and no boat for...
