New to me Engine
A friend of mine that owned this engine since new woke up one morning and wanted a new 4 stroke and decided to swap engines. We were talking about his plans and knowing that he really has taken good care of the boat I asked him how much and he replies just come get it.
Its a 1995 Evinrude Intruder 150 that according to the hour meter has 432 hours on it. Came with hydraulic steering, harness, binnacle, and he threw in the Bennet trim tabs since he's going with Lenco electrics. Looked online and it seems like all had good things to say about this engine. Can't wait till boat comes back from the glass shop to install it.

Nice Jorge! I had one of the Johnson 175 hp of around that year, one of the best carbed engines I ever had. Ran perfect and loved gas! However not as much as my 225 Ocean Pro, that thing was beyond in love with gas!!

Sir you are correct!!! Nothing and I mean nothing could eat gas like those V-8 OMCs, nothing!! Most gas tanks have a 5/8" vent hose, if you had one of these beasts you needed a 5/8" gas hose to feed those eight carbs!!!
Knew the owners of Alafia Marine who were one of the largest Johnson dealers in America. They took a '87 or so 29' Aqua-Sport put on a bracket and rigged two of the 275 hp V-8s, versus standard the I-O. They took it down to their place on No Name Key for a week or so, brought it back and put a for sale sign on it the day they got back. Asked them why and they told me the gas tank was too small to feed those V-8s for a day of dolphin fishing and they could not afford the gas it took to use it.

I have a 94 Ocean Pro 150 on my 74 CC and for the two years I've had it, it's been Bulletproof. The point where I recently picked up a used etec 175 that I was going to put on but I'm hesitant to do so because of the faith I have in the 150. I got a top end of 45 miles per hour and I think a cruise around 30-32 at 3000 RPMs. Which I can Cruise offshore for about 50 miles on half a tank with the standard 47 gallon tank. In that. I usually have the throttle close to buried or maybe 15% of that time. Stock boat, except raised transom to 26in, no t-top. Prior to me acquiring it, it's my understanding that it only had about 10 hours on it in the last 7 to 10 years leading up to my purchase. It was trailer kept when I got it and still is. There has never been bottom paint on it so I assume the boat always has been trailer kept. I'm the fourth owner of the boat and presumably the third owner of the engine. Granted, I'm just sharing my experience but I've never heard or read everything negative about them to date.
