I've spoken to a few people with 150 Etec's on their 22's and they've been very happy, but weren't looking to run heavily loaded, for strong acceleration, or for top speed. Dave - 1983 Outrage 22

I have come back home from Catalina (26 mile run) on one engine and it took forever to get on plane but would go about 19 kts at a high RPM. I have no data on a 150 HP on a 22' Outrage, but I think the boat will plane with a speed in the low 20's. If I have to re-power, I will be looking seriously at twin 130 ETEC's.
