I'm ready to repower from my 1995 175 HP Johnson and I'd like to max out the rating for my Hydra-sports 2150 WA at 225 HP. Frankly if I could find a 2003 - 2006 225 HP like Hooper sold that I had confidence in was not abused I would go that way and not go new. My boat is 12 years old but is still in good shape. I could stick with my existing engine but between fuel prices (old 2 stroke dumping 30% unburned), 50 extra HP, less noise, less fumes, and the security of being offshore with a much newer engine, I think it's time to repower. If anyone knows of any used engines that fit that description please let me know. I'd rather go to a dealer and get a short term warrantee as well as some cash for my Johnson in trade.

It's either that or buy a whole new rig and I think I want to wait another couple years to see how the economy shakes out before I make a committment that big since I probably couldn't control myself and I be looking at 26' and twins.

I'd consider 4 strokes as well as long as the price was right.
