Don't forget the E-TEC's . . . with the same or more omph (most of their HP ratings are conservative) you were used to with the old 2 strokes, with about the same weight as the Opti's but MUCH quieter, great reliability and customer support, and much lighter and more torque than the 4-strokes! The small block 60 degree V-6 150 (actually 165 hp at the prop) would be a great match for that boat. Or you could go with the "175" or "200" for even more power with the same weight, but maybe a bit less mid-range torque.
