I would also recommend ETEC like Ronnie has. I had an Evinrude DFI which was the pre-ETEC engine under Bombardier, the company that bought out OMC when they failed. The DFI model I had was essentially an ETEC without the name on it, very similar engines, if not the same. It was a super engine for me. When I sold it, it had 600 hours on it and not hint of trouble.

Talk to Marty at Ship Shops, (508) 398-2256, for a engine quote on that model. He's very good on pricing and a good guy to deal with for repowers. Might be worth comparing dollar for dollar. Any cost difference will be easily saved in fuel bills alone.

Just an idea.
