Dont bother watching the last minute the camera post spun so nothing to see.

The only thing you're missing is a bit of snow!

No leaves on the trees. I guess I'd better go up the cottage next week and clean up leaves from the lawns.

David still lots of leaves just not close to the water for some reason?

Thx, wasnt as cold as it looked really. We had a good run, the other guys had to carry cans on board and gas up on the water due to 15 gal. tanks. I had just rigged a new to me engine that morning so it gave me a chance to try it otherwise I would be waiting 6 months to run it.

Did the 200 feel a lot stronger than the 150?

 

[hirk]

Yup, most noticable at 5k+, it pulled harder right to 6900 running the same 26 hoss. I think it will put a 28 on the limiter easy so should run out about 86ish. I ran a 225 pm worked a bit on an xb03 and dont think it pulled much better low and mid but obviously ran out better on the highend. I lined up from idle with a hydrostream v king 225 pm turning a 30p and I had 3 batteries and trolling motor and stayed beside him from holeshot to 78.You put together a nice running motor, very happy with how it ran.

Glad you like it.

Funny thing about my PM 225 vs my old 150, I still haven't gone faster with the big motor. But acceleration from idle to 80+ is worth the crazy gas bill.

My 150 stayed warm two weeks ago in 50* water but the 200 on this run ran warm at low rpm but cool after 3-4000rpm. 100-110* with a head temp sensor. I didnt push it hard because of that.
