Plenty of options to choose from for sure, and a bunch of considerations to ponder. As you can see, many of us don't want 500# on our transoms, and some are happy with 610#.
The Outrage was designed for a 375#, 150hp two stroke, or pair of 230# 70's. My take, and many others too, us this boat handles best with less than 500# on the transom. But it is a foam filled Whaler, and will float more if you want more.
Re powering is a big investment, so would recommend spending a few evenings reading all the threads about re powering an Outrage 18. This will empower you to make a reasonably well informed decision.
