went very well. That 18 footer with the 150 hp Yamaha is a screamer, but I
only got it up to 3900 RPM. The day turned out beautiful, if a little cool

River with ease, and I was very impressed with the engine. The engine
rocks, almost noiselessly. At 3500 rpm I could carry on a conversation with
the maintenance guy in a normal tone of voice.

I left it at the dealer to get the radio and antenna installed, and will
pick it up this coming Saturday. It's fun becoming excited about boating
again! Hell, fishing may even start consuming some of my golf time!

My better half is quite thrilled with the boat and can't wait to get on the
Potomac and check out some of our favorite 'boaters' beaches'.

I love it, and, more importantly, so does the wife! This thing just about
launches and retrieves itself, compared to the ProLine. And, the 150 Yammy
definitely makes it scoot. I can't wait to get up in the Bay and see how it
does in some 2-3 footers. Hell, the damn thing has eight rod holders!

Yeah, I want to see how it does in two to three foot chop, too. Leave
your false teeth at home.

Actually Harry is correct if it is real 3 foot chop. Only a 19' boat, you
can get really beat up in that. Mine is 21' and only a 20 degree Vee, and I
slow down a lot in big wind shop.

John's purchase is really biting into your narcissism. A photo of his
real transom will likely send you into overload so you might want to
leave the group for a while - at least until Skipper returns.

Why only 3900? Is that a Yamaha break-in suggestion or are you overproped?
I just repowered my 17 whaler outrage with a 150 opti and had to play some
games with pitch and diameter before I got to 5400 RPM. Just curious..

I hadn't read the manual yet, so don't know the break in procedures. This
was just a test run. I'll save this post and try to remember to get back to
you once I've read the manual and taken it out for a longer workout.

Your dealer didn't go over break-in procedures for the new engine?
