Have you priced twins?  It's hard to believe, but you can often buy two 115/125s for less than one 225/250.  Several dealers around here selling new 115 Optimax motors for $8K...  And you can troll on one to save fuel, and also have the safety benefit of that second motor.  Just sayin'

You need to consider weight more than horse power.  A big four stroke would be a tad too heavy for this girl if you ask me.

Ditto on twins for your hull.
