The issue of weight that WILLY mentioned was my reason for reccomending the 2.0L MERCURY as my #1 pick. They're fairly light for a V-6 and PLENTY of power. I'm not sure on the YAMAHA's weight, but I believe it to be in the low 400's and the JOHNNY-RUDE will be in the mid to upper 400's. The 200 and 225 weighed the same from 86 on up, so there isn't much difference between the two. WEIGHT is your enemy here though, you gotta keep the weight down. I know others here have center consoles with brackets and they all have problems with sitting stern low in the water. The LIGHT V-4 would actually be best for this app, but not greatest for top end. And this is why the 2.0L MERC was my number 1 pick, it is actually lighter than my 140 V-4.

Yeah, do a search for FLBuilder.....he redid a beautiful center console but had problems with it porposing because of the bracket.
I know I have seen several people on here moving gas tanks to the bow and relocating batteries trying to fix the problem on center consoles with brackets. On the other hand, the cuddys seem to convert over just fine. Spare has a great idea, hanging another motor onto the seadrive unit. I've seen them like that before also.
