What is the biggest 4 stroke one would put on the hull? It is a 1997 and the placard says 230 hp max, for 2 strokes. I have seen a couple of f225 's for sale and would consider them... I tried to highjack my own thread by posting this question on my other forum question...

Hi All, I put a 2003 Yamaha HPDI 200 hp. on my 1997 Adventure 208. While at the shop, the mechanic told me that the shaft is too short for the boat, which surprised me, as it is a 25" shaft and didn't look noticeably short. I measured and the cavitation plate is roughly three and a half inches...
