Are you asking us what you should re-power her with? If so then are you considering keeping her an outboard?

I JUST REMOVED THE ENGINE & STERNDRIVE THIS SPRING. REDID THE STERN AND ADDED THE BRACKET, IT'S ALL NEW, SO A SINGLE OUTBOARD IS ALL THATS NEEDED. SPEED IS OF NO ESSENCE TO ME BUT FOR A POSSIBLE RESALE EVERYONE LIKES FAST. THANKS JOHN

Based on the weight and size of your boat, I wouldn't go any lower than a single 250hp OB, either 2- or 4-stroke.

Well then the decision is fairly simple. Go with a 4 stroke Either the Suzuki 250 or the new Suzuki 300 4 stroke. Trash the gill bracket and have Don Hermco (active user on this site) put a fiberglass seamark bracket on the back of that thing. If you are looking to re-sell the boat then you should have no problem after all that

THANKS GUYS, REALLY A LOT TO CONSIDER, BUT I DON'T THINK I WANT TO CHANGE THE BRACKET AT THIS POINT. I'LL LOOK AT REPOWERING BUT NOT NEW, TOO PRICY. I HAVE THOUGHT MAYBE THE 225-250HP RANGE OR WHATEVER POPS UP. JOHN
