I have a 96-SSWII Yamaha 225 on my 86-OR-22. I run a yamaha 15 1/4 x 17 SS. I always have a full tank of fuel and 4 people and gear and it pushes just fine. Average 3500 RPM, 30 mph +/-. WOT fully loaded with 40 rockfish pushes 48 mph. The 17 has a lot of low end torgue for pushing through big waves. Good range and fuel consumption pretty reasonable.
