Looks great Michael.

Awesome job.! What brand is the throttle controller on your console?  Looks sharp!
How is your Merc 150 doing so far? Like it or love it?
Any estimated MPG?

Thanks.  Throttle is from Uflex http://uflexusa.ultraflexgroup.com/en/catalogue/single-lever-controls/08a08b-1/880/-low-profile-single-lever-top-mount-controls-b301-b302.html  I liked the retro look.  It required a separate engine trim switch.  I just used a TH Marine switch mounted next to tab controller on the ledge directly above the throttle.  Since I operate throttle from the stem rather than the knob, it’s a perfect location.

I love the merc 150.  Honestly, it seems to be a perfect match for the hull.  Best cruise is 25-30 MPH at 4.5-5 MPG.

Thanks for the info. That 150 is definitely looking more and more appealing and compared to the Suzuki 140 on our size boats!
