Author	Topic:   results on 18 outrage with 115 4 stroke yamaha
chrisrich	posted 07-04-2002 10:34 PM ET (US)         This is the way to go. Our 1989 18.5 Outrage is now equipped with a single yamaha 4 stroke, efi 115hp, long shaft, & stainless 17 pitch prop. oh is this sweet!!! Never ran so smooth, quiet, quick out of the hole,, top end get up, and go-, and used at least 60%less fuel than those twin 2 cycle-70hp old yamaha dogs. As you can see-we're real pleased! We caught halibut, and my wife lost a 3-4 footer at the surface after a battle. Yes- I did say a 3 or 4 foot halibut!!! Thanks for all your feedback- Chris and Rich.
