I found a 200hp e-tec is it worth it?

Well which ever motor I go with, I'm definitely going to beef up the transom. As for the winterization, I'll pretty much run this boat all winter long down here so I don't think I have to worry about that. By the way, how fast can you get with that 200HO on there?

With 3 people and the top up--52.3--with the same load with top down--53.4. GPS

Faster than I want to most of the time--but cruises easy at 40 to 42 with a load and real easy at 35.

That's fast. Got a 2005 Evinrude 200 DFI on mine - the model after Bombardier bought and cleaned up the issues. Real nice running strong engine, and good fuel economy on my Mako.
