It's amazing how the weight can add up. When I'm loaded for an offshore trip its about 3500lbs. I wouldn't want anything less than my 150. If your sure you'll stay light and not have a big top, that 90 would do ok with the right prop. Your fuel bill would sure be low.

I disagree on the fuel - example my cruise with the 200 is 3400RPM run that pig at 4200 and the fuel goes way up. Running the 90 it will be working very hard in comparison. About 130 is perfect but only 1 chioce from Yam - a 150 would be fine also. I can't run mine very fast either but the power helps the handling as much as anything. My 115 was pretty good though and the inline Merc was not a torque monster so 115 Etec will work fine - can't believe how heavy all of them are, that Merc came in at 268 I think.
