Location: In the slop! | Hi, I had a 93 150 Faststrike, great motor. It started easier than any I have owned, ran good too. Only problem, they realy like gas and with todays gas prices, that could be a big factor. When I got my current boat with 135 Optimax, I thought the gas gauge was broken, because it went down so slow. |

Location: Slinger Wisconsin | I had a 1997 on my Ranger and it was a great motor. It was probably one of the smoothest motors I have ever owned. I did not notice any excessive gas consumption and it had great top and low end performance. As with any OMC product you have to use carbon guard. I also ran synthetic oil in mine.

Location: Chicago, Beverly | Carbon guard and 2X4 fuel sytem stabilzer go a long way to helping any motor, better yet omc/bombardiers.. A '97 150 fast strike may share a lot of componets with larger motors like the 175, thus making performance mods easy if you wish... |
