225 hp Optimax for a 23'? Good fit?

[DonV]

I've got a 2003 3.0L EFI 225hp on mine, not an Opimax though. I'm happy with mine....around 3800rpm and it runs perfect in most all conditions with a 17 prop. I,m at around 13.5 to 14.5 gal per hour at that rpm. Normal day trolling 35 to 40 miles out with four people, ice, beer, average seas, more beer, etc. is normally 36 to 40 gals. Rough day maybe 50 gals.
