| I've got two seasons and about 100 hours on my 150 EE-TEC and could not be more pleased. I usually do about 32 miles per trip and use about 6 1/2 to 7 gallons of fuel. So far it has been everything it was hyped up to be. Hole shot is so unbelievable that I wish I could knock it down a bit. I have to be very careful with getting up on plane and must forewarn all onboard to hold on. The throttle requires so little movement that I have to slowly put it forward or we are all getting the rug pulled out from under us.  I'm running a 13.8 x 17 aluminum prop and would like suggestions on what I should change to. I would like to sacrifice hole shot for more top end speed. Red line is 5800 RPMs and I am getting 5250 at WOT. 43 to 46 mpg according to my GPS. I would like to get up over 50 MPH. What do you all think?

| When I read this I was going to mention that there was an emm update to remedy the plugs and false oil alarm on the early models. Do you now have, I believe it's, irridium plugs?
