I understand your dilemma, and have enjoyed your build. My MA has a 175 looper, and to be honest, I haven’t heard her run under a load in a few years. 375 pounds IIRC. It’s awesome power to weight with the 70 gallon fuel option.
My 20 Seafari has a 150 Etec, which I LOVE. All the torque, damn close to as quiet a Yammi 4 stroke, and way more fuel efficient. If she crapped the bed, I’d be looking 175-200 Etec, but I understand the financing issue. Beautiful boat. Best of luck however she is powered.
Michael.
