The max hp for your hull is 225hp and minimum is 130hp with a 25 inch shaft.
I, personally, would want to stay within 85% of max hp. Go with a 200hp
While the G2's just came out, there may be dealers who have a 200 G1 in stock. That should save some serious coin as the G2's are even more expensive from G1 due to added features.
If you get a G1 E-TEC, you can keep your throttle and gauges and do a digital upgrade in two or three years to soften the $ hit.
Shop various dealers (think car shopping at its worst). No bad tactics just lack of openness on price breakdown, actual parts described.
Go in person and get detailed quote in writing. Be prepared to drive 100 miles to a dealer to get quote.
Get 3 quotes that list each price for
each item individually:
-Trade in value of engine
- Removal old engine/rigging
- Install new engine and rigging
- Binnacle
- harnesses and cables
- each gauge
- prop (has to be stainless)
- sales tax
