You would have to jump to a 250 to see any real performance gains.
I am am not spending another 10k to jump up to a model to have a bigger measuring stick. Does anyone here own a 22ft Bay Boat with the revamped yamaha 150, I think they had revamps in 06 and 09 for more power and fuel efficiency yet keep the 150 number for insurance reasons.
Considering I will spend most of my time going 2-3 MPH I am really not too concerned about the 4-5 MPH gain from 10K. If it was a 3k upgrade, which is about what it should be, I might consider it, but not for the 10k to change packages to be able to get a bigger motor.
