I'm wondering if he ever started the Yamaha. If he did, it was well after

I noticed that myself
I saw the Yama based boat lurch forward, right from the start for a
second so I know at least he engaged. Almost like he did not floor it,
or the Yamaha just does not deliver the torque..
I missed the lurch, and thought I was paying attention!

It certainly is an important test for boaters who
hook up stern to stern with another boat and play tug-a-war.
You better be wearing a neck brace and seatbelt when you firewall that
150 on your new boat. :}
Make sure you get properly propped. That engine should turn 6000 rpms
when level with the water and with two or three guys and a full load of
fuel aboard. Mine does. You will have a different prop, but it still
should produce 6000 rpms or damned close to it.
It comes with a factory spec stainless steel prop. I'll probably leave it
alone.
