Anyone with experience with Honda's 4 stroke engines. In particular, I am
interested in the 150 - 200 hp engines. Thanks!

Clammers in Narragansett Bay have them, but I think they are 115s.

I've never heard anything bad about them, but to tell the truth
I've never heard anything outstanding about them either. I do know
that you see them all the time on trailers at the Oakland Beach
launch ramp and either the mechanics or the owners are working
on them. Sometimes it's just a routine oil change, sometimes there
are parts and pieces on a tarp in a neighboring parking slot.

When I do hear about a four stroke it's always "it's so quiet", but
never "man, I can run all day on two teaspoons of fuel". One
clammer I asked directly (he was parked next to me changing his
oil) said he'd never buy another one - changing the oil was a pain
in the....

If I were in the market for a new engine, I'd do some research
first on warranty repairs and their frequency.

Later,

Tom
