Say 35-40 mph
I cruise at 30 ish mph at 4000 rpm and top out about 45. I was told you would cruise 40 ish with the 200 SHO

Look at the performance bulletins. I guarantee you will get better mpg with a 200 on frontier 21 than with a 150 @ 40 mph

i know when i repowered my purebay, i went from a 150 2 stroke to a 225 4 stroke, and i could run 45 mph with the bigger engine and burn the same as i did at 35 with the smaller engine.
i hated that 2 stroke 150..... and it went thru oil like crazy.

getonfish, I feel your pain. I went through the same senario, I have a 2110 on order.

I have been trolling the classifieds on 5 different websites for 3 years looking at boats as well as reading posts etc. With some exceptions, Nautic Stars dont stay on the market long and bring a fair price. I have talked to many dealers, mechanics, and people in the industry and have not had one time where anyone came back with anything negative on Nautic Star. Only issue is manufacturing lead time, they cant make them fast enough. If it is not in stock you are 6-8 weeks out.

when I saw the layout of the 2110 SE it was time. It had the layout I had been looking for. Only change is I am going with the new Merc fourstroke 150 instead of the Yamaha. Only problem now is that I have to wait until Aug 15th to know if I made the right decision.

Just remember, its only money, you will make more. Good luck!

I also have a 2110SE on order and have read nothing but good reviews. I was looking to buy used, but I had a few bad experiences when looking at boats. I decided to buy new so I can get what I wanted.

I guide out of the 2110 and dont have any issues ,other than it being somewhat small for 4 adults to fish . The only time we get wet is in a serious cross chop,which you would get wet in any other boat out there. For a family boat I dont think you can go wrong with the 2110. I currently have a 24 Nautic Star on order ,only because I need the extra room for clients.

Thanks for the input guys, I talked to Kyle at LAM this afternoon. I'm going to check out the frontier 2104 just to see what it has to offer before I pull the trigger on anything.

As far as motor size goes you can look at a lot of boats that have 2 different motor options on the yamaha performance bulletin site. All of the bigger motors suck down more gas at all speeds.

Kyle hints that the 175 Zuk is faster on the Frontier than the 200 and about 2k cheaper. Almost same HP on a lighter block.

I'd look into that engine!

I understand the Suzuki's get better fuel economy. Top end is not quite as good from what I hear though. They all have trade offs.

Kyle told me the same thing today. I really liked the 2104 frontier. I will have to order it and it will be about 4 weeks. On the bright side they are willing to put the new 2013 Blackjack upholstery in it.

I also went by and looked at the NS again just so they would both be fresh on my mind only to find out that it has already been rigged up to my specs and is ready to go. OOPS hope I dont piss anyone off if I decide over the next couple of days to go the other way.

Dont worry about pissing anyone off. That is a big purchase, get what you want.
