Re: \"Ideal\" power for a 20' '87 Superfisherman?
I'm putting a Merc 175 Optimax Pro XS on the back of mine, and for me, this is ideal.
If you don't mind fielding questions from your non-expert boating friends on why you didn't purchase a 4-stroke (because that is what everyone is doing), then I would seriously consider staying with either the e-tec or optimax. You can never have enough power and they are just as efficient if not more in certain settings. The 175 Opti and 200 small block e-tec weigh as much as the 140 Zuke.
