The new V6 is a completely different from the cowl to the gear case. Although anything mechanical can fail that 150 of yours is considered one of the most dependable 4 strokes ever made.

All these comments about looks cracks me up. Like that's going to get you there and back when it counts. Did you marry an ugly lady? If I was comparing my wife to an outboard shed be a Merc 2.5L Drag motor. Light, lean, high reving screamer A+  A+++ is Right. Had one on a 1996 Allison 2002. They don't make em like that anymore. 200 psi compression running on 112 octane race fuel made 325 hp @ 9,000 rpms.

Years ago a partner of mine had the same rig. With both of us and tackle that thing ran high 90s, Empty low 100s. He had some cut heads and with VP112 it ran high 10s in the 1/4 mile.
