Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Well- that really depends on the depth of your wallet! For me. I'm running a 88' 150HP Johnson on my 85 Skeeter. Yup, I have had issues, including a lightning storm taking out the entire electrical system, incuding the control module and the voltage regulator (this was while parked on concrete driveway in front of my house.). ~ $800 later I was back on the water. I have no clue as to the hours on this motor. All I can say is, it will run like "raped ape" or troll at 3-10 mph all day. Yeah the gas mileage sucks! But so would buying a new 150 HP. I can buy a lot of gas for the cost of a new motor.
Watch your fuel quality, do regular maintenance services and most importantly have it tuned by someone you can trust!
Have fun!
