Rob:
On my 1989 Revenge 25 Walkaround, I re-powered with a single Suzuki DF200 which works great. WOT is about 29 K and a good cruise is 20- 22 K. This motor sips the fuel and what we like is that it will run all day at 10 mph on those sections of the Erie Canal with speed limits.The 200 does not have the complexity of the 225's and 250's with variable valve timing etc. I consider it "de-tuned".

Except for the big boys I don't get why you see so many twins. Heck, outboard motors don't quit any more than IO's or inboards longs as they get fuel, not to mention the weight on the stern and additional fuel burn.
