I recently repowered a 26 Regulator with a pair of the new F200s. The boat originally had 200 HPDIs. The new 200 is a sweet motor. It has variable cam timing similar to the larger 4 strokes. Performance was about the same as the HPDIs. Except the fuel economy has gone up considerably. The only drawback is that the cowlings contacted the rub rail before full tilt. I had to add tilt limiters to each motor. The owner loves his new motors and has already put over 200 hours on them. He regularly fishes the canyons with the boat and can't say enough good things about them.
