Not the answer your looking for but I have seen the Mercury 3.0 four cylinder 150HP on a 19-6 (same as 200) and a 222.  Performs very well and is light for a four stroke.  One of them had well over 2000 hours on it.

I personally would hang an Etec on it.  Not sure if your looking at used or new...  They have a killer warranty offer going right now on new ones.  Used ones will connect right up to your existing engine harness and steering.

yes. Mine was just run yesterday. I raised the deck 4 inches and with that my scuppers are only an inch above the waterline. My advice would be to go with the Suzuki 140 or merc 135? I think. The 150 is heavy and well worth it but without modification you are gonna have some serious swamping issues.
