I have one on my 20 ft center console boat Xpress. Great low end power and is super quiet on the top. I love mine. My boat is pretty dang heavy, but it will run 40-41 with a fishing load (3 batteries, 2 people, tackle). Plenty fast for me, but anything bigger I would want a 150. What size boat are you looking to put it on?
I have a 18' Famous Craft flats boat, dry wt hull is 900lbs.
My buddy has the same hull with a 2 stroke yammaha and he gets 44 top end.
Right now I am studying hard between the Yamaha and the new Merc 115 four stroke, it looks like a beast.
You won't be dissapointed with the Yamaha. I've had a couple of them. Really nice quite ride. Cannot comment on the new Merc. I could on the old ones... but I won't!
I had a Yamaha 115four stroke on my previous boat and I liked it.....got a new boat now with a Yamaha 90 four stroke and I like it.
i've got one on my h18 express crappie series and love it. quietest motor ive ever ran. i did have to play with props to get it just right but with my 17 inch prop and 6 inch jack plate i can get 61mph by gps with just me in it. best performance is at about 5200 rpm. that puts me around 41 or 42 mph and the boat still has a good bite on the water. the gas mileage is remarkable.
Love mine. Easy on gas and extremely quiet. It's an 08 and I've never had a problem.
With the right prop, I believe it will get 45ish mph. That light of a boat probably faster. I don't think you will be disappointed with the motorQuote:

I have a F115 on my Polarkraft 168SC and I like it just fine.
