With a Pro Series 21” prop (14 ½ diameter) mounted on the #4 position, same as the Evinrude, we see 55 MPH at 6000 RPM. More expensive but featuring a DOHC design, but a little more maintenance involved make this a great choice overall.
A slightly lighter swivel bracket, smaller throttle body and a tuned exhaust differentiate it from the F200. The faster, the better, right? This is most likely a mistake, as it states it’s a 4.88, so we can assume it’s not the old Optimax version. Let’s see how a competitive 150 does on the same boat.
The gear ratio discrepancy is odd but we assumed it was the 2.08.With the four stroke Mercury 175 ProXS and a 22” Tempest prop the Nitro did 63 MPH at 6011 RPM; the Tempest is a 14 ⅝ diameter. If you’re willing to go the extra mile (per hour), you can get an 115hp engine and you’ll be sure to reach this speed and even more with your boat full of passengers.There are also a couple of things that affect the boat’s top speed. I want to use value, performance and features heavily but I want to consider details like gear ratio as well, as it affects performance greatly. You might try using a 24” Tempest, even dropping just over 100 RPM, but possibly changing a few things, you could probably get 66 to 67 MPH and then it makes sense. All of these 150s are capable engines. Since our budget doesn’t allow a proper engine shootout, where we would ideally take 3 matching boats and power them with the latest 150 HP outboards to see how they compare in every performance category; we’re going to cheat. This means, setup more like the 150 boat, the Bass Cat should be in the 71 to 72 MPH range, by the numbers. Let’s look at the Yamaha 150 VMAX SHO, Evinrude G2 150 HO, and Mercury 150 Pro XS. From my reading , it seems not worth going for 200hp vs 150 hp on a 22-24 foot tri-toon. The bigger Evinrude 2.7L G2 has the unique swivel bracket with the integrated steering (iSteer DPS)Since Ranger didn’t make this boat when the Mercury ProXS came out, I had to use a Ranger Z518, which replaced it and is only 2” longer and 1” wider. You would need to run a 24” pitch prop to get the numbers you’d want out of the big 175. The boat is rated for a 150 hp but the wallet couldn't stand that big of a hit. my boat is... 2008 Tracker Pro team 175 TXW (max hp 75 hp) 2008 Mercury 50 hp ELPTO with approx 16-17 hours on it. The 150 25” Fury combo is seeing 9.55% slip. With a 2:1 gear ratio, running a 21” prop, you wonder if a 22” raised up one hole, or utilizing a jack plate could push it up to 57 or 58? Evinrude weighs their engines as they ship and the Merc is weighted without its heavy cowling, which the Evinrude doesn’t really have so it is a little closer than the numbers suggest. If you could run a 22” with almost no tweaking to get the top speed close, and the cruise speed really close, it would be hard to say which one is better on this boat. I’m not sure the G2 would be as fast on a performance boat with that 2.17 gear ratio, it probably couldn't swing the higher pitch fast enough. This is the four stroke 3.0L 150 Pro, but in the sheet it says the gear ratio is 1.85? I attribute at least 5 or 6 MPH to the gear ratio, and the rest to the power increase.
Meaning to say, it’s not an exact number, it’s basically an estimation. I have a 17' Xpress Aluminum bass boat with a 1998, 90 HP Yamaha that will do (on a dead calm day) 47 MPH at WOT. The problem is often simply that as the years go by, we add more and more junk onto the boat. With a Yamaha Pro Series™ prop: 14 1/2 x 23, the Bass Cat hit 62 at 6050 RPM. Really strong numbers for the Mercury 150 ProXS on the heavier Nitro bass boat.How does this compare to the Yamaha on the Sabre? I'm getting 34 mph (gps) and that is fast enough to put bugs in my teeth. As my passion project Pontoon Helper is aimed at educating any reader on all the different things you need to know before pontooning. ; Use … We do have a report of of the same Nitro Z18 with the 175 ProXS, let’s look at that as a comparison. These engines will move your light fiberglass whaler-type skiffs and large jon boats at great speeds. - 35 MPH at 6400 RPM with light load, but ~15 mph in turns when tubing with a loaded boat.
And that is on an Allison boat - who builds their hulls with hull rigidity and strength as a paramount goal. If this had the 1.86 gear ratio that the bigger G2s have, it would most likely be a better all around performer than the others, moving it up the list. Let’s dig in.In the 150 HP category, the 2.7L Evinrude G2 has a huge advantage over the 4 cylinder four stroke competitors, obviously the Evinrude is a two stroke and it is a V6.
These motors are great for light boats ranging from 13-18ft as well as sailboats and pontoons. A Ranger Z18 with a Yamaha 150 SHO is a good comparison. Pontoons are not speedboats and they’re not made to reach high speeds anyway, but there are a couple of moments when you need to go a certain speed, such as when you’re water skiing. I believe Nitro revised this boat in 2019 as the latest model is 2” wider. Now were talking 10 MPH faster. The one with the Yamaha is a Z18C, same hull but has the added side console and is 25 Lbs heavier. To me, the Mercury 150 ProXS is the top choice and it comes down to value and performance. As far as the boat itself goes, pretty much any boat below the 22’ mark can reach it with a 90hp engine and medium load. Two questions: 1.

The G2 150 holds no weight advantage, without the integrated steering, it weighs 495 Lbs, about 15 Lbs heavier than the Yamaha; with the Merc being the lightest at 455 Lbs.
Although both are pictured mounted directly on the transom, so the Nito must have serious built in setback. 115 HP (2012) Mercury 4 Stroke with Black Max 13-3/4 x 15P. I've been pontooning for over 30 years believe it or not and have learned a thing or two about pontoons. Most likely.
