Whats the "best hp" for a V 21 ?

[Genie Aye]

I have a E-Tec200HO (3.3l)and it works just fine--And I have the back deck loaded.

I cruise at 3400 at around the 35mph range--WOT in the 50+ range with load and a standup top surround.

I am thinking that 175 E-Tec might be just it for a V-20--I would think the 200HO would work great on a V21.

Hey Ginie aye, a dumb question, is that 175 or 200 E-tec a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke ? are they much heavier than say a 86 150 Evi 2 stroke?

It is a fuel injected 2 stroke with a 3 star emmision rating---cleaner than 80% of the 4 strokes out there and a bunch lighter.

I would say that you are real close on weight on the 175/200 hp in the 2.6litre engine.

All the Etecs are 2-stroke...w/all the old 2-stroke problems removed!!...

Scuppers are in place to allow water to flow OUT of the boat, while not allowing water to flow IN...

Good Information,,,,, thank you both..... I am dropping off my motor this Monday to powerheadexchange to get my 150 rebuilt, he is giving me a 2 yr. warranty, 100% first and 50% second year, I think is the best way to go considering my budget, I will let you all know how it turns out..
