I replaced a 225 Evinrude looper with a 150 etec that I love. Now that I'm not as poor as I used to be I'd probably go for a 200 if hanging a new engine. I like the etecs, but wouldn't hesitate to run a new 4 cylinder four stroke 200 Yamaha or maybe a Suzuki depending on your local dealer/mechanic support situation.

Everyone has their favorite, but for me, I have a 1991 Mercury 200 hp 2.5L engine that I absolutely love. Boat moves when I want it to and loafs when speed isn't an issue. I know that Wellcraft for a lot of years sold these boats with a 150 hp engine, and there are a lot of ppl on this site that swear that combo is just about perfect, but for me the 200 is where I want to be at.
