Not sure, but I had a 150 carb'd Evinrude before I put the 200 etec HO on so:

Mid 90's 150 was strong.......likely 165 hp at the prop.
Ran my V21 to maybe 38-40mph WOT

2005 Etec 200 HO is powerful......also more than 200 prop HP.
Pushes the V21 to 50mph trimmed and very light, otherwise 47-49mph.
The other benefits are MANY......
Instant starting - every time, and immediately idles smooth, quiet.
No smoke
Purrs quietly at 3,500 - 4,000 rpm, the range I usually run which is mid 20's to 30knots.
Sips oil, easy on fuel, probably burns less fuel than the 150 did.

I topped her out once, I think it was low to mid 40s MPH

Cruise at 31 MPH at around 4400 RPM

Turning a 14 1/4 X 17P Solas stainless prop.

Awesome fuel consumption and it will scare you how little oil it uses.

I love the 150 and its a great match for the V-20, but if I were to do it again I'd hang a 200 just because I like a little more top end cruising speed sometimes.

I have a 19P prop I could use, but I love the 17 when idling and manuvering around docks etc. The ETECs idle at 500 RPM.

I'm trying to sell off all my junk to hang a 90 ETEC on my Carolina Skiff.

Right now my skiff with a 90 two stroke Tohatsu burns about as much as the V-20 with a whole lot less hull weight, only 12 gallons of fuel versus 55 gallons in the V-20, and much more efficient hydrodynamics.
