why won't you guys consider etecs? I would also suggest suzuki, but you seem to be having weight issues, so why not etec? It is the lightest 200HP on the market... extremely reliable, great hole shot, etc....
If weight was not an issue, I would probably lean towards the suzi or the honda 4 strokes...

If I was repowering an outboard 1 and 2 would be E-tec and Zuki 4 stroke.
Most Commercial guys on the bay run Zuki's and they need reliable gear, especially this time of year!

If I was buying a new motor I would be all over ETec but I am not. I bought a used 4 stroke last year for a great deal and thought I would be fine, but it is to heavy and the scupers are under water most of the time.
So I have a buddy that has the HDPI and wants a 4 stroke and after talking he and I have worked out a deal, and a sweet deal !! His motor has been dealer serviced since new and is a great motor!
If you talk with 100 people you will get 100 different answers, Put all toghter and make the best informed decision I can and hope for the best
I know there are a lot of better boats then mine but I like it, and the money I have in it I can't get back, so I might as well stay with it.
The motor isd a great motor and I got a deal, I am making a great deal for the HDPI and after hearing this stuff and looking up other reviews and talking with my motor guy I am going to swap and hope for the best but i will say i can't say i wasn't told if anything goes wrong!
Thanks all and will let you know how I make out
