I love the power of the 200hp. And it's hard to go wrong with a Yammy... they have great reputations... BUT... They also had a corrosion issue with the shift shaft. I know they fixed it, but I don't know when. It used to be a problem to fix, but somebody came out with a kit that (supposedly) makes it an easy fix. In all cases ask Spareparts about it. He's a lot more knowledgeable than me on this subject.
I've often thought about adding saddle tanks to my V21to increase my range between fill-ups.
