1990 Nitro 150 Evinrude XP

Featured Replies

Wondering if anyone has experience with this boat in the 185 series size. As well as any experience with the motor.  I have found this set up at a reasonable price and am just wondering if anyone has any comments or reviews or any place i can find some info on it!  Thanks for your replies!  Chris in COLORADO

Know nothing about the boat, know something about the motor.  Motor is basically a pretty good motor but have it checked out by a competent mechanic.  Like anything else, if it's used up, and needs rebuilt, that's about $3,000.   As with any boat that age, check the transom and floors for rot.  Look at the bolts holding the motor on inside the transome and see how far they buried into it, very much and that's a good sign of a soft transome, then take a couple of 3/4" wrenches and make sure they are good and tight and don't tighten deeper into it.   Step all around on the floor and decks, make sure there are no weak spots.

That would be a pre-Bass Pro shops Nitro. Pretty decent boat but as previously stated, you'll need to check for floor and transom rot.  The 150 XP's were pretty good engines, you'll want to do a compression test, numbers aren't as important as the cylinders being close to one another.  Those 150's were kinda fuel hoggy though.
