    With differences mentioned above, the XR2 had a Fatter Power curve in the midrange, resulting in greater Acceleration. Both the regular 150 and the XR2 put out 150hp at their rated rpm, the XR2 just burning a bit more fuel doing so

    Johnson lower unit help

    Both engines show as 1993, so I know of no reason it shouldn't fit as they should be the exact same lower unit. Of course you could just be buying a another pile of junk

    Boat Ramp Etiquette

    The ramp where I routinely launch is technically 4 lanes wide, but 5 can actually fit, but most drivers are only skilled enough to do 2, sometimes 3 on at the same time.

    Boat Ramp Etiquette

    I prefer to have the Dock(s) about 80 ft from the Launch. That way no SOB can block a lane by tying up close to the ramp

    Where to attach vacuum gauge to 3.0L?

    Boat Ramp Etiquette

    If you made your own Lane, I can understand why people were Pissed at you.
