    150 flash computer to 175

    Model 8150F13HD S/N 2B476985
    One of the local guys told me that they could "flash" my 150 and make it a 175
    Is that really possible?

    I'm going to say that it might be wise to not let this "local guy" work on your 150. Not quite sure how he's going to "flash" two more cylinders into your engine.

    Definitely illegal, and definitely not physically possible.

    A couple boats ago, I had one of those "local guys" tell me he could flash my old 60HP to a 75. I smiled and declined.

    I wonder if your local guy can flash my Chevette into a Corvette? If so, I am going to give it a shot! That would be worth a trip to WI!
