Repowering with OB - Hp?

[mgarfield]

Hmmmm - thanks for the information. I'm buying new so it seems going >150 is a popular recommendation. The suzuki 175 was suggested by a dealer, who also sells Yamaha - interesting. This 175 has a favorable power to weight ratio.
So it seems best options might be Suz 175 4 stroke or ETEC 175 2 cycle or Merc 175 2 Cycle. Might search used motors but this is on hold for now until I can narrow down on a new motor and then see where that will go.
Anyone know about the suz 175- any known problems etc.
Appreciate any other input!
