Re: Engine size for '86 23 cc
Depending on your budget, you can buy a used rebuilt 225 Yamaha for about 5 grand. If you want to go new, twin 115 Suzuki 4 Strokes are the way I went. They are much faster than a single 225 and get a better hole shot and better fuel economy. Most 225's are topping at 33-35kts while I get 38kts top and cruise 4k at 25.5 kts. The package cost me @14k installed.

Re: Engine size for '86 23 cc
The 200, 225 and the 250 are the same weight, If I had to guess I would say they are the same weight as your current 225. And you will hear some rumors soon and its true Johnson is offering a 200 and 225 4 stroke this year. I would still go with the di over the the large 4 stroke.

Re: Engine size for '86 23 cc
My 23 has a 250 EFI Merc on it. Cruises easy at 33-36 mph, burning 16-20 gallons per hour according to the flow scan. WOT is upper 40's, and has seen fifty on half tank, full trim, wind just right [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
250 is a good choice
