    Boat is rated for a 250. But if you prop it correctly as mentioned it will do ok. I would consider using a 4-blade prop.

    Yes...It is way underpowered. I ran a 225 Etec on my 07 and 74 was not enough speed to really exploit that hull. The 200 will not get enough hull lift but a 200 can be rebuilt up if it is on the right block.
