Anyone run a 23 w/ a single 200 Merc 2.4 or 2.5L

I ran my 1989 23WA for 20 years with a Merc 2.4 200 hp. I thought it did good for the power ratio. I ran a 14 1/2 X 17 aluminum for a long time then went with a 14 1/2 X 17 SS. Easy to plane and would top out at 43/44 mph depending on the water WOT was around 5500 rpm. 4200/4300 rpm would give me around 32 mph and suck 10-12 gallon per hour depending on the water.
I re powered last year w/ a 225 Honda and am using a Power Tech/Honda 4 blade SS prop.
