V21 owner questions

Down the road, I may want to switch from my 150 to 200 hp outboard so appreciate feedback to these questions please:

1. Does the transom well fill with water - if so how high ?
2. Does water come up through the deck floor drains - how much ?
3. With 1-2 people standing in the back, does water come in ?
4. When you slow down to a stop, does water fill the transom well ?
5. With the 200hp, what's your approx top speed ?

The 96' Evinrude 150 hp I have only weighs 375lbs - light, and no water issues.
A 96' Evinrude 200 weighs approx. 475, and the early 2000's DFI's weigh 525lbs - thats a big difference.
