I've got a proline center console. 150 will move it plenty fast, but I am looking at the 4 strokes for the better economy.

I'll say, with what a new motor sells for, you can certainly upgrade boats significantly due to all the repo boats at auction. There is a BIG/HUGE disconnect between retail and wholesale.

Last week, way more boat than I want, I saw a 2003 26 foot whaler with twin 225 verado's (with 170ish hours of run time) 2006 vintage and a triple axle trailer sell for $16K. That's the price of one of those motors retail.
