Mike is a Tuna Junkie now!

The point is, my buddy bought a brand new one cheaper by about 12 percent 7 years later, more deals now. We all have to repower eventually or by something different. On a new 25 cat I would imagine 25-30 k just on motors and controls. If I ever start fishing the canyons I'm hoping it would be on a much bigger boat than I have now!

Mike let me take a look, I thought yamaha stopped making a 150 hpdi, and only make a 200 hpdi... Everyone I know has been going to the 4s... Have a few friends with f150's and they are sweet but yeah, 30 percent more cost... I went with twin f250' s on the new rig, twin 200 hpdi would of been a big savings but I wanted 4s... Better resale and I wanted max horsepower get good cruise mpg...

mine is a 2003 150EFI ;;

yamalube locally is insane / but that penzoil prices are VG ... I just want to get what I need ......... I don,t but cheap s %^&* but I have no idea if that top of the line synthic is over kill .

If I live to buy another motor / I may stay with a two stroke .......... 4,s a re quiet, great on gas / but if you don,t baby them ..wash out .they tend to have issues with the heads .
Plus they are heavy & I like the jump I get coming out of the whole .
I have the 16' tin rig with a 2009 Merc. 30hp 4s .. for low, troll slow & quiet

thanks mike

Mike actually misunderstood the question... Talking about 2s oil... You don't have to get the full synthetic that's way $$$. I have to look in there but there are two types of semisynthetics that were great... Yamalube went up way to much over the years, it's a semisynthetic...
