Looking for advice on replacing my 2120’s F150. I’ve been on a waiting list for close to a year for a F200 but I spun my prop yesterday and I called a prop shop today and when I told the owner that I’d like to repair my existing prop vs replace because I was planning on replacing my motor soon he had a completely different opinion. He recommended to stay with the 150 or go at least go to 225. I guess the the 200 does to 1.86 to 1 vs the 2 to 1 gear ratio which has some draw backs. Most of my fishing in Northern CA is not long runs and there aren’t slot of smooth days to open up the throttle. We do get some albacore and run 50 miles out about 4 times a year on flat days. I appreciate the fuel economy of the 150. My main concern with the 225 is the added 70LBS and make the bow run even higher. I run with a lot of ice and gear on tuna days. How much will the 225 limit my range with the 100 gallon tank?
I would appreciate any experience with the 200 vs 225 or stay with the 150 that any one will share.
