captart Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Looking to repower my 2001 2200V Pathfinder. Is a 150 4stroke enough power? Currently running a 200 VMax 2stroke. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemott Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I always go for the most hp. that I can hang on the transom within the builders limit. You may not use it all the time but if you need it to outrun a storm or respond to a emergency, it's nice to know you have it. Just upgraded my 20 bay boat from a 115 to a 150 and it is a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 The factory has probably rigged more.150’s on the 2200V than any other motor. But it made the boat more affordable! That said, earlier this year, I repowered mine from an F150 to a 225 SHO, and my only regret was not doing it sooner!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same motor upgrade about 5 years ago. The 22 responded so much better to the 225 SHO. Backing, general maneuvering and of course, hole shot and top speeds all saw vast improvements. Fuel economy from the VZ 150 to the SHO 225 was almost the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captbill Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 My F150 does everything I want it to. Not a speed demon. It sips gas. Keeps the boat light weight in the stern. It will run about 43 mph. When the time comes .... its going to be a hard decision. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 If you are happy with a 30-35 mph cruise while sipping fuel, the F150 is your motor. If you run in a lot of flat water with lots of passengers, a SHO 250 is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbondy Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 My 2013 2400 TRS has a VF250 SHO and it runs great. WOT is about 60 mph at 6000 rpm with light load. Great hole shot as well. Yamaha Pro Series 14-1/2" x 21" 3 blade (vented) prop is perfect. Hope this example helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
