Why not - so the 96' V21 was rated up to 200 hp..........but

But 200 hp outboards in 96' weighed around 450lbs max.....NOT well over 520 lbs.

So, I'm thinking forget the Evinrude DFI, or HO......too heavy because the boat wasn't designed for that much weight. Not on the original standard transom anyway.

Now thinking the " LITTLE " etec 200 at 433lbs or the 175 Opti might be better choice.

I may just keep " talking " and run the current 150 looper forever too. That could also happen.
