Sounds like a great ride!
If you're already hitting 60 with the 150 HP, I can't wait to hear what it will do after the mods!!

A few more pics.........

Now this pic is kinda bragging.....These are the ONLY custom marker lights made by BlueWater and I have to thank CR Customs for this one.

8) Well crap! :o LOL!

Really like the lights close to the floor in the cockpit area.
I do a ton of night fishing in the summer months and I use as little light as possible, but I could see something like those lights being pretty useful.
-
Those Blue Water Extreme series.....Also installed CR Customs. ;)
-
Red light district? 8)
Actually, if you know Jimmy you know the affinity with red lights. That boat is one of the nicest tin boats you'll ever fish from. I can't wait for this spring and breaking in the new horses.
-
It is going to be a beast this year!
-
When we are done, there will be a complete CD of pics of the rebuild and modds.
With all the lambeth(sp) rings needing to be replaced on the crankshaft @ about 70-80 bucks each :'( :'( I will have to put the Big bore throttle body on hold until after the break-in buts its still on the drawing board. We are hoping to push this motor into the 220-230HP by the end of the build.
Next year in the off season...............Its Hull work time. 8)

Seriously? 220-230 HP out of a 150? That's a serious HP increase!! What's your boat rated for anyway?
-
From what I understand 80hp is no big deal from the 2.6L yamaha's. This is the same block, pistons, crank and internal parts that the 200/225hp OX66 use. With the ECM re-flash from Simmon's to a 200/225 and the block porting/matching. Throttle body spacer, reeds, Tuner, gets you to about 210-215HP.(Stage 1 goal) After installing the Big Bore throttle body we should be close to the 220-230 mark we are shooting for.(Stage 2 goal)
My boat is rated for a 200HP. :)
-
What year are your boat and motor?
My G3 is a 2007. The outboard is the same. It's a 150 with carbs, not EFI.
-
Nice looking boat..
Scarry! At least to me.

I've been told by one or two Yamaha techs that the motor I have is a favorite of guys who like to hot rod the Yamaha 150s. Maybe some day I'll be able to do some tweaking to this one.
-
You guys not worry about screwin up your motors when you hot rod em out like that? Ive not got alot of experience with outboards, but i do dirt bikes. Every bored out or souped up bike i ever saw either had a short life expectancy or had to be worked on continously.

That's actually a really good question. You're probably right to a degree. But then most people who tweak their outboards do so with the expectation of constantly playing with it.
@bullet20dc What's your opinion on this subject? Just curious.
-
you play you're gonna pay. I guess it just depends on what each person is looking for his rig to do. Go fast or reliabilty most of the time u cant have both. I was into 225 pro max's for a while and tweeked the crap outta them to get ever mph I could find It cost a bundle but while I was in that mood back 10 15 years That Bullet was one of the fastest around. But I did have to work on it almost every time I ran it. And yes You tweek past mfg specs you will break em. Out boards are simple motors and work great out of the box but EVERY 2 stroke again EVERY one will blow up eventually. Some will last a long time most wont. but thats a fact of 2 strokes. Picture running your car/truck (4 stroke) in first gear at 6000 rpms for say 200 hours. I seriously doubt it will last very long but 2 strokes can and do do it every day everywhere. That is if you leave em be Manufacturers go thru a HUGE R&D program to find that happy medium of max performance and max reliability. Its a delicate balance, u mess with it you're giving up one or the other and if you have no clue you can sacrifice both. Now that Ive mellowed a tad and dont have the reflexes to do 85's 90's I built a nice 250XS It does what I want to do and still has a little left in her when I get twitchy or some smart azz thinks he gonna pass a Bullet Not sure who's saying Yammies are the choice motor to mod but I tell you what parts are not only VERY expensive and year specific for them they are also VERY hard to get. I dont know many folks in the business that would agree that yammies are the choice to play with but I do know they make a nice motor My opinion is LEAVE IT BE use stock parts and really good oil
