Whats the "best hp" for a V 21 ?

In terms of HP the 150-200hp is perfects for these boats. The 2 strokes are nice because they weigh less than the 4 strokes. My opinion is that a 200hp four stroke is a little too heavy for the V21. The self bailing cockpit has scuppers just above the waterline, so the extra weight (about 100lbs) matters, especially if you are standing in the stern and have dual batteries back there too.

I have a 175 etec, which I think is similar in weight to the 200HP etec. I just happened to get a better deal on the 175.
