150ho vs 175 ho

[dell60_9]

hey guys,
Just after some thoughts on the 2 motors mentioned and what prop you'd reccomend running on them. (will be goin on a zx190)
Also a mate told me that the 175 has the exact same top end speed as the 150 except the 175 has better mid range torque. Is this true?

cheers all

I don't think BRP makes a 175HO?? The 150HO would be pushing around 165hp max. If the 175 is making 170-175 at the prop I could see a couple mph gain......JMHO

I don't think there is much difference since the HO will come with the lightning gear case, and the 175 should come with the magnum case.

Perhaps you are thing about the 175 Pro XS merc engine????

I haven't seen anything on it yet, but I bet its a runner.
