21 CC Repower

[Sail Away]

Thanks everybody!

Pair of Jacks - You really understand the dilemma in repowering the 21 CC. Do you think the 200 ETEC would have made a significant difference. It is the same block as the 175 I think. What about the 225 with the bigger block (but you gain back the 100 pounds)?

I have a 2003 21' with a 200 Merc EFI. I sure wouldn't want any less power. I don't need to re-power right now but I certainly have thought about what I would go with when I do. I do know it will be the Max of 225 that it is rated for. I would probably go with a 225 Optimax or 225 Etec because I think four strokes would be too heavy. There is a charter captain with a 21' named Old Yeller that repowered with a Suzuki four stroke and seemed to be real happy. You may can google that and get some more info.

I repowered in 2005 with the etec 200, it's the big block type, not the HO, real happy with it, 550 hours so far, running with HD-50 oil.
