225 or 250 HP too much???

This was my other post a few months back. It might help you answer the question"

"1st time posting. Great Site. 1985 V20 with 225 Johnson High Output (about 240hp at prop). She runs 53-56mph by GPS depending in load. Cruise at 40mph @4400 rpm and 13 GPH. Happy to see so many people appreciating these boats."
