Hey Parishht - Not to bust your balls too badly here, but what HP were you looking at before???? 25hp - 90hp???? I know I'm an *** :)
Unfortunately with the low 20" transom you are limited by weight.
I imagine that you'd want to keep the motor weight under or close to 400lbs which significantly narrows your choices (eliminating almost all newer v6 outboards).
As mentioned before your best choices based on price, reliability, fuel economy are going to be the following. I think you mentioned that you wanted to keep your OMC controls . . . so if you have the red plug . . . you are looking at 1995 and earlier.
v4 OMC 115 - 130, 140
v6 OMC 60 degree 150 or 175
v6 Merc 2.0L, 2.4 or 2.5L
V6 Yamaha 150 - 200 2 stroke carb.
v4 Yamaha 115, 130
