1984 OUTRAGE V-20 Re-power
Posted: Sat Mar 16, 2024 12:31 pm
My 1984 OUTRAGE V-20 is powered by an Yamaha 250-HP Ox66 engine.
The engine runs well. The boat transom is solid.
I may re-power soon.
I'll be using the boat in the San Francisco Bay area for fishing, cruising, and occasionally towing a skier. I don't think I need all the power and I'd definitely like something quieter and more efficient.
Q1: is 250-HP too much power for the [1984 OUTRAGE V-20]?
It [unspecified engine] is surely heavier than [other outboard engines of lower weight] options.
Q2: what new engine would be a good choice?
Q3: what be will the change in fuel efficiency with a new engine?
Q4: what will be the change in boat speed with a new engine?
