I also run my OB's in a cut-down blue plastic barrel just like fishin98 shows. PT&T (if you have it) makes that process rather easy.
For my old 70hp, I cut down a crappy old dinged-up aluminum prop into a test prop that allows me to rev up in gear for setting timing and whatnot...though for my OptiMax 125 (or your 150) I don't think even a cut-down prop would be safe to spin in that barrel! Maybe a genuine test prop...
(As BaylinerChuck says, I do notice that the old 70hp really makes a frothy, nasty mess of that water...while the DFI 2-stroke leaves the water clean enough to dump on the landscaping; gotta love progress!)
