The Classic Outrages were designed in an era where most engines were much lighter than the engines of today. The 2nd gen Outrage 20 is considered more weight sensitive than the 22 because, relatively speaking, the fuel tank is further aft. With this in mind, lighter is better, but for sure no smaller than 150hp.

There are lots of good engine choices. Any one of the sub 500 pound 150-200hp engines would work well on your boat. It is wise to choose the brand that has the best dealer support in your area.
