Default choice of outboard

Almost time to buy an outboard my local Evinrude / Johnson dealer recomends a 115 hp on my 20 sceptre that is what came originly on it back in 1978, since he has taken care of the boat for all those years. It has had a 150 on it and he says it was too much motor on such a light boat plus you can't use the speed most of the time at least here in the northeast on a river with 8 knots of currentand chop alot of the time not to mention the gulf of maine hardly ever flat he says it would do 40knots or so with the 115 he also doesnt recomend the four stroke he says its a dog and the 115 will eat it upcomments welcome pics soon.
