Patrick, thank you for the report. The performance of your Merc 150 FourStroke on your Outrage 18 is impressive.

I'll follow up with some subjective thoughts on the repower performance, particularly in comparison to the previous power.

I will be interested to read your additional thoughts, particularly any observations concerning how the weight of this engine compares to your previous propulsion and how it affects the trim of the boat, i.e. does it squat noticeably at the stern? Any other info concerning mounting/installation would also be welcome, e.g. mounting height, whether you use a setback bracket, did you alter any other aspect of the boat? And of course, it would be interesting to hear about comparative fuel consumption.

Thanks!
