I was wonder if ther was any ways to give my 07 150 carb a little more giddy up with some bolt ons?

what boat is it strapped to?
My 07 150VMax carb is outperforming all the Champ 183's with DFI's on their back by about 2 mph.
I've found it to be a STRONG motor!
Am i correct when I say it's on a Stratos 285, with no jackplate?
If so, a jackplate will add performance!
It'll add noticable "all around" performance. Holeshot, handling, & topend.
My 2007 Champ 183/Yamaha 150VMax is about the same length & weight as your Stratos 285.
I'm getting a true 62-63 gps speed (66'ish on speedo) with me alone and half tank, and around 61 gps with 2 people, equipment & half tank.
I'm running with a 10" jackplate, Trophy Plus 23 pitch prop, with propshaft around 3-1/2" below pad.
I've got a 2004 blazer 180 pro v, 18 ft long with a 150 vmax carb and a 10 inch jackplate, i've tried several different props and it only runs around 64 mph on gps at best. This may seem ok for a 150, but i consider it slow....
I had a 1998 389b javelin with a 150 merc xr6 and all it had a was a bob's machine shop "the tuner" in it and it would gps 68-69 mph all day. If you wanna run better get a MERC.
