			Just curious, what HP do some of you have on your boats?  I am now running a 225hp Yamaha OX66 on mine, this is my third on my 87.  I noticed that it is riding lower at the stern with this motor than the first one I originally had, a 1986 Suzuki 140.

			When I bought my boat in 1996 as a I/O 165 hp, in 2000 converted to OB via Stainless Marine bracket and 175 Yamaha, then replaced with another 175 Rude and sold it that way in 2007
