| Have Ranger 617vs (1,525 lbs empty boat) with Honda BF150 & BF8. The Honda 150 is an Accord engine and was introduced to the US in 2004. Turn the key..it starts..WOT & I'm on plane in 4- 5 seconds (32 gal gas, 50" live well, 3 - 29 series batteries). With the right prop it will move out at 50 mph. I run a PowerTec OFS4 which lowers the top end but gives me excellent hole shots and lower planning speeds. The Honda 115, 135 and 150 with 25" shafts all weigh 485 lbs.
I would also agree with others to max out HP. You can't go wrong with the engineering of the engines you're considering.
Enjoy your new rig...sound fantastic. | |
