while I have seen peeps with bigger motors run on the lake on occasion, i certainly agree that 99% don't go over idle. I wonder how someone could find out for sure, I certainly don't want to break the restriction on purpose.

I don't see the difference between my 150 at idle and a jon boat with a 9.9 full throttle, except that the jon throws ALOT more wake.

Anyone out there know how to find this out for sure ??

Thanks in Advance.
