FYI - they reduced weight while increasing displacement on those newer 4-strokes by eliminating the cast iron cylinder liners! That means they're a throw-away motor if you ever encounter a fuel starvation situation that leans out a cylinder and scuffs a piston! Might be worth checking out a "225" G1 E-TEC that's 240 hp at the prop with even less weight. Consider the HO model if looking for top end power or the standard model if you want the most mid-range torque.
