    Yamaha 150HP vs. 200HP? Anyone driven a 150 vs 200?

    Hello, my wife and I are purchasing a 23" Tritoon, and we have a choice of the Yamaha F150 or the F200. So far I'm hearing that both engines will feel the same from 0-30.

    Iboats...you need to chill out with the annoying chevy ad that doesn't let you close for 5-minutes. I enjoy the website, but I would suggest allowing only ads that are more user friendly.
