I have a Honda 225 on my 89 23WA and that is plenty for me, cruises here in the Puget Sound just fine 28-30 MPH on my GPS. Too much junk in the water to go faster, especially during crab season.

transom
My 1989 23WA was made for twins, but when I bought it new, we had to go to a 30" leg on the outboard. Original was a Merc 200, now have a 225 Honda which works great.

I use a Yamaha T9.9 on my 23WA w/225 Honda for main power. I used to run a mid 90's 15HP Honda and that worked good. The T9.9 Yamaha has lots of torque, but not quite the top end that the Honda had....

Re: Legit 23 outboard option... New Honda.
I doubt if they did much, if anything to get to 250 hp as my 225 is definitely more than a 225 hp engine the way it scoots along. I was up to 5600 rpm (still had a little more to go) and 46 mph on my...

I removed the fuel sending unit and was able to get a hook on a piece of metal turned sideways and used a come-along from a rafter in my pole barn, worked great for me.
