Also, any photos of it on the Outrage 18? I wonder if it looks proportionately large on the classic hulls like so many of the 4 stroke motors do?


This listing for an Outrage 18 with a Merc 150 Fourstroke gives a good idea of the proportions (there's even a video.)

Keep in mind everything looks bigger when a boat is on a trailer (as opposed to in the water.) To my eye, the Merc 150 doesn't appear any more bulky than my 2-stroke V6 Yamaha 150. The weight of the Merc 150 (25" = 465 lbs) is only about 10 lbs more than the old Yamaha (when the 2-stroke oil tank w/ 3 gallons of oil is included.)

But it sure would be interesting to see a side-by-side comparison.
