Trophy 2502 Repower to Merc 150 Optis

[DriveJohnson]

I am looking at swapping out the twin Merc 150 Saltwater carbed 2 strokes I have on my Trophy 2502. I will be putting on 150 Optis. One of the biggest reasons for this upgrade is to increase the fuel efficiency - right now, those carbed 2 strokes are gas hogs. Another reason for the upgrade is to eliminate the smoke issue - there have been a few who have been sick on my boat and I believe a lot of that has to do with the smoke...one other reason is I expect to be able to dial down the trolling speed without worry.

I know there are a couple of other Trophy 2502 and 2503 owners on this forum. Anyone have performance numbers using the 150 Optis?

Thanks,
JJ
