ZX190 Skeeter.

[carmikes]

I'm looking at 2008 ZX190 the motor isn't rigged yet. Any pro's or con's. How much difference will there be between a 150 HPDI or 175 HPDI. Thanks.

[Z518 Comanche]

The 150 will give you in the low 60's. The 175 will do mid to hi 60's depending on set-up Welcome to BBC

[Phippy]

Should only be $600-$800 difference between both HPDI's. Easiest and Cheapest way to gain 5mph IMO, plus it might be easier to unload with the boat HP maxed out.

[Neilslure]

Go ahead and hang the 175 on it. That way you will not have to wonder "what if" and you will be happier with its performance.

[DJSkeeter]

Go big or stay home Mike.
Just hurry up and get yourself a bug.

[Mark from Canada]

175 all the way Mike! While you are at it you might as well jump up to the ZX200 or 225, you're going to want it if you start doing pro-ams on the big lakes.

I have the 150 and it has plenty of power with a 23 pitch prop. I would get the 175 tho just to have that little extra.

I think it's gonna be more than that between a 150 and a 175 no? Are they the same block or something?
If you're right, then I'd go with the 175 as well

Back in 07' when I purchased my ZX190 $600 was the price difference from my dealer. A no brainer at the time.

[bucsfan69]

i just bought my '07 zx190 (new) in may this year, i asked about the swao between the motors and was quaoted about $2,250 difference. the 150 is the vmax, while the 175 was the HDMI. 4 or 5 mph difference is not worth that amount of money.

[skeetzx225]

always max out your boats rated HP, makes a huge difference for resale..

[MisterE]

It shows $600 difference on the yamaha site for difference between 150 VMax HPDI vs 175 VMax HPDI

I would have to say worth every penny.

He is looking in Canada right now so everyone up here knows about prices, when it gets to the border mark it up and then mark it up a couple of more times.

I missed that, didn't know he was a fellow Canuck.

.....things aren't marked up in Canada for no reason....at least that's what I'd like to believe

[Phippy]

What if he traveled to the states? I know Reynolds Marine in CT would give him a smokin deal that would be well worth the travel. How would that work anyways?

[DJSkeeter]

He wants to see what kind of price in Canada first, for warrenty reasons, but the US is not out of the question. It seems if we buy in the states the warrenties on everything other than the hull are only covered in the US. Dealers in Canada do not have to honour the warrenty as it was not bought in Canada.
I was told this when I was looking for a new boat myself, from dealers in the US and Canada. Sometimes it sucks being north of the border, sometimes

[MUSKIE08]

Those prices are msrp and the carb 150 verses the hpdi is all most 5k and when i bought mine the diff was 3k more for the hpdi and 5k for the 175

[Z518 Comanche]

I would think that if a boat is already rigged with a 150 , it will cost you more than $600.00 for them to re-rig it with a 175. When I bought my 06 ZX-190 it had a 150 carb on it. They quoted me $3500.00 for re-rigging with a 150 hpdi and $4300.00 for a 175 hpdi

[skeeterrulz37]

rule of thumb..figure out just what you need , then go the next size bigger !!!!

[bucsfan69]

heres mine with 150..had it up to 64 yesterday into a little breeze, only 1/4 tank of gas and small(ish) fishing partner. granted we all want the biggest baddest rig on the planet and i was skeptical about the 150....but i am very pleased with it so far. have about 5 hours on the engine and only ran WOT for about 2 minutes
