Default V21 repower

Thinking about a repower...boat Im looking at is reported to have 2 cylinders down on compression and possible scoring. I have an older 185 Airslot with a fresh rebuild of a Johnson 130...big enough for the V21...??

some ppeple are happy with the lower power engines, if I remeber correctly, there was a guy on here that had a single 70 Yamaha on his. Personally, Id run at least a 150, watch your weight when repowering, the weights of newer engine vary a lot

I think a 130 with the right prop would work, I personally wouldn't go any lower than that though.
