    Serious question who has repowered an older 201 with a Yamaha sho or mercury v8 4 stroke? Top speed and thoughts would you do it again?

    I was on the verge of repowering my 05 201 Pro XL with a Suzuki 250ss but elected to dump a ton into a new TM and electronics instead. The motor was more a want than need. Everything I looked into made it a no brainer, especially with boat prices high right now. It all comes down to the hull and layout in my opinion.
