My prior Outrage 22' Cuddy had a 175 on it and it was OK, however, if I would have ever needed to replace that engine, a 200 hp would have been mounted on the transom.

I agree with Joe. I think an E-TEC is a great solution. I think Doug V and Jeff will recommend this as well. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

I agree with the above statements, 200 HP would be preferred to less than 200 HP. I think an Etec 200 would be a great engine on an Outrage 22...., but it would be really cool to have a 225 on it...., or since I am already in dream land, how about twin 115 Etecs! If you are of the 4 stroke persuasion, I think a Suzuki 200 or 225 would work well also. Doug
