who has a 150hp motor on their toon

[lakegeorge]

We are planning on trading in out toon on a new rig at the boat show in Atlanta and I'm planning on getting a 150hp motor on the new rig.
What motors do you like in this hp?
I have heard a few things about Mercs that have me concerned and one of the boats that I am considering only comes with Mercs.

Merc has a brand new 4 stroke 150hp. It's just hitting the market now, and I've read some good reviews on it. I have a 115hp Merc 4stroke on my 2011 pontoon now because it was the biggest without going to a Verado. If only we had waited 1 more year.....

I haven't heard of any issues w/ 150 Mercs. We prefer the 2 stroke Optimax's for various reasons, but Verado's, E-tec's, Yammi's and Honda's are all excellent motors. The 3 Optimax motors we've owned, 90-250, have been great and all came w/ 5 yr. transferrable warranties. Have fun shopping for your new "toon".

We have a tritoon with a 150 4 stroke suzuki. Plenty of power and very quiet. Did I say quiet? I have to remind myself to shut it off before anyone jumps in to swim. It seems to do pretty well on the gas too.
