I have a 96 Stratos 278. Mine is rated for a 150. I believe the max rating for that year 274 was 150hp also. Original dealer mounted prop for that make and model was 14 1/2 X 23 1/2 I am pretty sure. My buddy had that same model stratos
Patoka Lake and the Patoka lake campground. Rustic or Modern. Great Fishery for bass, Crappie, bluegill, striper, and catfish. Just a stones throw from French Lick, IN as well as Merango Caves for a rainy afternoon.
Look up the old thread about sickly Johnson 150. Almost word for word I just had your issue. Took it to the shop, replaced the power pack. Engine runs like new. They tried to put it on the Dyno, checked the pump, the reed valves etc. $285 dollar power pack solved the issue. Hope that helps.
You can't spend money if you are DEAD. Kiss your wife, thank GOD you made it back alive before and enjoy life. Money is not whats important. Good luck with your decision.
I hunt deer because as a boy I got a Whippin and as the belt was smacking my rear all I could do was watch BAMBI on the TV. From that day on I have had a hatred for BamBI and .....................
Just foolin. You have to admit, that started to be pretty good
Venison = pure, yummy, protein
I think dinner and flowers are definately in order for this one... You can't go fishing so a little quality time may keep you in good graces for a later date..
Great story!! I started getting the sweats as it reminded me of a tourney I fished where I 5+SMB busted me off and i had to listen to him taunt me for over 30 minutes hurdling out of the water near our boat. We lost the tourney by less than 2lbs. I still have nightmares of that moby dick fish. I felt like cpt. Ahab
Actually, I just talked to a buddy of mine who used to fish Armco park when it was private and his response was SADLY similar. He told me that every redneck hilljack has been there and he has seen buckets being taken out filled with undersized fish.
Yet another good fishery wasted by the ignorance of those making the rules........
My wife complains that I treat my boat better than her most of the time. My reply is that my boat doesn't complain, always wants to go fishing when I do, lets me shoot it out of the hole, and likes to be tied up on the dock.
My boat completes me......... :
I just had the power pack replaced on my Johnson for the same issue. Motor would run fine and then under load just die. It would then run rough. The Power pack for my 150 was $285. With labor etc it came to $391 from the shop.
I might add that it runs like a top now though.
