after 21 years and 1500+ hrs my 225 Yamaha is dead. I am looking to repower my 240 Coastal with Suzuki and wanted opinions on 200 hp vs 250 hp. Is 200 hp enough? probably better than my yamaha over the last couple of years - certainly better than it is now. I'd like to avoid the extra 4 grand if possible. thanks in advance

Assuming your Yamaha was a two stroke, the modern four strokes should be able to swing a bigger prop with the added torque. I’d go 200, especially if the 200 weighs less than the 250.

old motor was 4 stroke. suzuki 200 weighs about 80 lb less. than 250.
