Assuming your transom is solid about the most perfect OB for these boats on today's market IMO is the small-block 200 HP Etec...all I've ever had was 150 and that's been sufficient...but I've always felt another 50 HP would really put a nice kick to the V20...

If you are primarily saltwater, 150 is all you'll be able to use most of the time...
