that is a good motor, will probably be just as powerful as your old 200 if not more. It will burn less fuel than your old engine. Just be aware, optimax type engines run well, till they don't, and they get very expensive when they don't. You will need to run the DI type oil, and run good e free gas if you want it to live. Personally, I'd rather give up some mph and try to find a four stroke 150. The proxs is a bass boat type engine( hp is underrated on xs type motors, makes at least 175 hp), designed to run on a lighter boat and run hard. The standard 4 stroke mercury 150 is a good all around engine more suited to V20s.
