    Repower 200hp with 150hp?

    I have a 1994 200hp Johnson Ocean Runner and am considering repowering with a 150 HP E-Tec. The boat is a 94 Wellcraft V21 and has a dry weight of 2300 lbs. WOT runs about 42mph at best and am willing to accept less i.e. 35mph. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    "Whale Tail"

    Can any tell me if the add-on lifting devices for outboards are worth the $$? I have a Welcraft V-21 w/200HP Johnson and it is difficult to keep on plane without running too fast for conditions.

    While in the process of troubleshooting the charging system, I removed the power pack to get access to the stator wires to check continuity. All was well there, but I appeared to be within minutes of being able to remove the entire Reg/Rect. Is the replacement of the Reg/Rect that simple? I...
