My tournament partner has the new 150 Mercury 4 stroke on one of his guide boats. I installed this motor on the boat in January, replacing a 175 Suzuki that had given up(with well over a 1000 hours). So far, the Merc has been great, over 200 hours without a single hiccup. Oil changes and maintainence are super easy, as was the rigging. Performance wise, it is nearly spot on with the Suzuki it replaced in speed and fuel economy, with a slight edge in the economy department. This is a totally new engine for Mercury and so far, so good. Couldn't be happier.
