the biggest thing to look for is weight to HP ratio. for me ive always seen mercury to be the lightest motors, early ones. all new engines are gonna be heavier especially 4 strokes. you realy dont want to exeed 400lbs on the transom if you can avoid it. thier are some realy good threads in this section just look around and get an idea of what you want. and alot of people here run much smaller engines and are very happy with them, just depends on what you want. racer, fishing, all around good performance? 200 on these boats is alot. ive seen some 225 and they just fly scarey in my opinion, realy just to much motor! good luck on your choice.
