need advice on used outboard purchase...

Therm I will have to agree on the Yamaha. There are always so many people who say a 200 is too much and I will disagree everytime. I have a 1990 Yamaha 200 and in calm water I can do 47Kts or 56MPH WOT. That being said I rarely have to cruise anything above 3100 rpms for an economical cruise and still get to where I am going fairly quick. I have been on only one other V-20 and it had a 150 and that would be a bare minimum in my book.
