I have a 175 mercury on my V20 and it is too fast. I am looking to repower with a used 140 johnsuki but they are not longer made. I have done a alot of reseach and the suzuki 4 stroke seems it be the best bang for the buck. The 140 is a inline 4 cylinder that is where you save weight. I would go with a 115 before I went with a 225 even if money was not a concern. If you plan on sking check out the suzuki 175. My mercury 175 will get airbourn if I hit some chop just right. I think the 175hp is a little touch power for a fishing boat. if you get a 225 4 stroke make sure you have good insurance and recent survey.
