21 Seacraft repower advice?

Your numbers sound great especially with a 200. I just bought the boat with plans for repower. My motor only has 230 hrs, not sure on exact height but looks and feels right, cavitation plate is out of water on plane. It's swinging a 19 stainless mirage prop. Since I asked the question I have found no dealer that will mount a motor over 225 (that's what the boat is rated for) and if I just buy it and hang it myself, no warranty. So I'm back to a 225 or 200. I'm gonna put a Yamaha on it due that I've always had great success with them in the past. So now I'm between the 4.2 literv6 225 or inline 4 200. I think the torque difference in the 4.2 over inline 4 will be huge. I can't turn the wheel with optimax trimmed up now. I've got a 6" bobs machine jack plate ordered so hopefully that will help some. The new 4.2 is 60lbs lighter and narrower than old 3.3 Yamaha. 4.2 225 Yamaha is where I'm leaning now. What's your thoughts?
