Like RHTrades I also repowered with a Suzuki, except I decided to max it out so mine's a 300 with a 4-blade Lexor propeller. Fits perfectly and like RH, I also installed the ping-pong style scuppers. I get a max speed of around 54-55 mph with 2.1 mpg, but she cruises best at around 32-33 mph with 4.0 mpg. That's fully loaded with fuel, baitwell, cooler on the left with ice/beverages and fishing equipment. Originally tried a 3-blade prop but I wanted a better hole-shot, the 4-blade gives me about a 3 second hole shot and better economy than the 3 blade, and only lost about 1-2 WOT mph. My motor also tilts up 99%, just a couple of inches of the lower unit left in the water.
