Author	Topic:   OK so I finally decided on my new motor for the 2000 18 O/R
Cole	posted 02-06-2004 08:42 PM ET (US)         F200 Yamaha 4-stroke...kinda heavey but I've swapped e-mails with a fellow board member who put the 200 Honda on his 1999 (maybe 2000...same boat) 18' O/R with no problems in terms of weight. So in a couple weeks it'll be on the boat and I'll have the ultimate set-up for me... I'm going from a 150 Opti...which has been a great motor...and I'm not looking forward to the extra 150 lbs. or so of the 4-stroke but I think the extra 50hp will make up for it. Thanks for all the input from all of you...I'll post my impressions once I have some hours under my belt
