I think you should take it out and put in a steam engine.

Well what about the same hull & same disp with twin 400s? Or
those 16' sliver shaped bass boats with twin 225 outboards?

I know of two sisterships of ours, one has the same engine &
the owner grips that he wants twins & more power, the other
has a 165 Perkins and the owner thinks the boat has "about"
the right amount of power. I think it would do just fine
with 90hp.
