Reely? I thought you were pretty pleased with your engine. The thing is, everything is a bit of a trade-off. I love the power of my 200, but of course it's actually a little more power than I really need. And while I don't think it's way too heavy, it is heavier than a 150 and so it changes the handling of the boat a little. (I'm still thinking about trim tabs, only thinking for now.) At the dock the stern is just a little lower than I'd like it to be (scupper outlets are right at the water). But, I am very pleased with the performance and the economy of this engine -- for a 200 she's a sipper.
What we need is a E-tec and/or a Yammi HPDI 175 hp engine -- that would be perfect! :D
