I'm led to believe the only difference is the ecu, but from memory they are 4 figures plus! We were looking at two boats one with 150 one with 175. Evidently it is easy for a workshop to change but would invalidate a warranty.

PM iansharlot on here and he'll be more than helpful. He always has been with us.

Then, hopefully someone with a 135 Opti will want to buy your 150hp ECU
