Re: 200hp optimax on 23cc?
BTW - my dad ran a 25ft steigercraft with a 1986 200hp 2.4L blackmax for 15 years. The boat would top out just shy of 40mph with a 15 pitch prop and cruise effortlessly at 22knots 10/11gph. In 1999 He repowered with a 3.0L Mariner 225. The performance wasn't much different . . . but the fuel burn was now 16gph at cruise.
