captart Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Looking to repower my boat and having a hard time finding 200hp 4strokes. Has anyone repowered with the 150SHO? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurem Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 My friend in my hood recently had trouble with her older 2200 outboard and didn't want to rebuild so she repowered with the SHO 175 and is very pleased. Hopefully he won't mind, but PM linesider159 on this forum, He may be able to help with finding you what you are looking for. Sometimes he has insider information. Now the 175 is still and I4 block not the V-6 like the 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same output as the 175 SHO, but without the fancy paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurem Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 On the Yamaha website I see.... 200hp I4- 2.7L 200hp- V-6- 3.3L SHO 200hp V-6 4.2L all on the same site. Do they have 3 different 200 HP models? https://yamahaoutboards.com/en-us/home/outboards/350-150-hp/in-line-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradM Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 The i4 F200 is a dog....I was less than impressed on the boat I was on that had it. Slow to plane, slow for the size boat and, just felt under powered for a 22' boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth move Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 i bought the IF 200 and at first was less than pleased. since then and after several prop changes, i love it. i'm getting 49 mph at 5300 rpm, light and windless. almost exactly what i got with a 200 hpdi on the same boat. 2 of my friends have the same engine. one has the same boat and runs a less pitch prop than me. he gets 47 mph at 5800. i fished in it with him yesterday. the other has a 21 triton tunnel, so anything he gets is not comparable to ours(2200v pathfinder). the engine sounds and feels solid. has a really good, deep 4 stroke sound and is much more frugal on fuel. i've got 490 hrs on mine now with only a bad throttle body at 60 hrs. warranty picked it up.

Mike45q Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 I re-powered a 2003 22V from a 200HPDI to a 200 VMAX SHO and am happy with my setup. My boat has Tee top and I and my fishing partner are big boys so a smaller motor would not do. Hole shot is great with a PT OFX 17" 4 blade . Top speed is fine for me at approximately 48MPH. Another option vs a Merc might be an E-Tec if the V6 Yami big block is not available. History would suggest a E-tec vs a Merc for me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are kind of apple and oranges with E2 being 2 stroke and most of the Mercury line today being 4 stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45q Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Again just a bias based on my history and perception of Mercury. My last Yamaha lasted 12 years and 1000 hours plus 2 stroke HPDI and assumed a 2 stroke E-Tec would give you the same life. Not sure you could expect that with a Mercury but again that is my personal bias. Good luck in your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've been good to invite Mercury to the party as well. It also would've been good to prop each motor, for the single engine comparison test, to reach its maximum recommended RPM while pushing such a heavy load. Nevertheless, the Evinrude E-TEC G2 150 H.O. is a beast, and deserves a lot of credit here! Link to BoatTEST.com video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang190 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I have the F150 on my 22TE. Have no problems at all, plenty of power and sips gas. It came on the boat from the factory. Can I run 50+ mph? no and don't need or want to. But I can run all week in the Keys and never need to buy gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplec Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 It looks like you may have hard time finding the 175 SHO as well. Been pondering it and my shop says there don't appear to be any available. He said only one shop in SE had anything above 150 and could be next year on the big boys like 300's. Economy is strong and they sold everything they had was his explanation. Following and interested to see what you come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motor definitely has a little more get up in it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I repowered my 22te with a f200 i4. I had a 200 hpdi and while it’s slower to jump on plane my top speed is upper 40’s loaded but cruise nicely around 35mph. I have been very impressed with the fuel economy compared to my hpdi. Mid range tourque is decent. I have several friends with 22 Pathfinders/f200i4’s that guide with them and have well over 1000hrs with zero issues so I’m wondering what the “known” issues are??

Checked in with a local Yamaha dealer who told me the Yamaha was a 10 year motor at best and then it develops pin holes in the cooling jackets.

While no motor is perfect, the Yamaha F150 is a great motor with a long history of reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemott Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 It just seems strange that a dealer who makes his living selling a product would steer a customer away from the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
