I am about to purchase a Hydra-Sports 202DC with *a Yamaha F150 4

I have read the beak-in procedure.
1hr at 2000 rpm , 1hr at 3000 and the next 8 hrs no full throttle for
more than 5 mins.

My question is; When pre-purchase water testing, how much or little
damage is sustained while the sales guy or I run a new motor at full
throttle for a few minutes to see full speed and other handling
characteristics of the boat

I suggest you follow the directions to the letter.

Thanks for the reply but it doesn't address my question.

Of course not, you've just met Harry. Vague at best because he doesn't
know anything, but wants people to think he knows everything! You do
realize that Harry claims to have a degree in Mechanical Engineering,
don't you? But, he also claims to have a degree from Yale, claims his
wife has two doctor degrees, his father once took a runabout across
the Atlantic in winter and got a fireboat welcome on his return to
NYC, he claims to have owned many, many boats, rounded the horn single
handed, sailed from SF to Hawaii, and on and on......- Hide quoted text -

No, I didn't just meet Harry. I have never met him, but I have been
lurking here for 10 yrs, posting once or twice a year, while you guys
talk about everything but boats.
I first posted when I bought a new 1999 Luhrs Tournament 320 and Harry
was the first to respond.
Sold that boat 5 years ago and have been using my sisters 33ft
cruiser.
Time for a small boat to play with the grandkids.
This is hardly my first boat or outboard but it is my first 4 stroke.
