How much gas can you afford? OB's on that size of boat will burn a s__t-load of fuel, even new Yamahas :p .

You could go with a 200 HP 4-stroke, but they weigh a ton and cost a mint.

If it's a 26', you'll probably want dual OB's, which is really cool looking and nice for close-in maneuvering, but a lot more expensive to rig and maintain.
