Non Seacraft Formula 233 Question

[nitz]

I am rebuilding my 233 Formula (new stringers, transom, floor, etc...). I have a 5.7 liter volvo penta w/ a brand new transom assy and outdrive (duoprop) that I was going to put in it, but have been having second thoughts. These are my options:

1. Go ahead with the power package I have.
2. Sell the motor and outdrive and buy a used 250hp 2 stroke outboard.
3. Sell the motor and outdrive and save up for a new or slightly used 250-300hp 4stroke outboard.

What are your opinions? Do you think the ride will be better with the I/O? Thanks, Mark.
