Happened to glance at the motor capacity plate on the 20 outrage while fishing today. It says Max hp 240 hp but my BW brochure says max 200 hp. I have a 225 hp Johnson ocean runner on it now, does 61 with just me and no gear. Loaded down with 4 people and gear maxed out at 47 mph. I'm wondering if I can get away with a 250 hp Yamaha 4 stroke or even a 300hp Yamaha hpdi cause it's lighter. The 225 has been a great motor but burns way to much fuel. My friend has a 300 hpdi on his 22 pathfinder and burns half the fuel I do and gets 70+ out of his boat.
