hp question

[davec56]

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a 226 between year 1997 - 2002. It seems that most are equiped with 225hp. I have seen a few with Yamaha 200hp motors. Is 200hp enough power for the 226?

Thanks,

Dave

My 2001 226 had a 200 HPDI...cruised at 30-31....top speed was 41.

Prop selection is critical.....I ran a 15.25x17 Merc Mirage Plus.
