Sounds good to me and I'm really looking forward to lowering the noise in
the cockpit. We don't have far to motor from the dock to our sailing
grounds but talking over the 2 stroke at all still sucks.

Yes, lower sound level is a big plus. I'd suggest checking the prop
pitch that comes with the motor. Most are pitched too high for slow
speed sailboat usage. A lower pitch will get you operating further
up on the torque curve and will make your engine happier over the long
run.
