I just bought a 1990 Aquasport 22ft CC boat. It currently has a 200 mercury on it. It may need a repower, would a 175 do the trick? The boat weighs 2900 lbs. I may be able to get a 225 also.

75%-100% of the capacity plate is where you want to be as far as HP goes.

Yes, just make sure it's propped correctly. The 200 will just give you about 3mph more top speed and a little faster plane which would probably be hard to notice.
