the X-190 is rated for 200hp.
i've got an Opti on mine and it runs 63mph fully loaded. with just me and lighter load i've ran 65mph at 5500rpms, which is below the goal max of 5750 listed in the motor's manual; probably good for another mph or so. i might play around with the propping and possibly a jackplate this year as well just for kicks to get it running at max rpms. at a certain point, fast is fast.
i don't know about your Yammies, but properly rigged with a 200hp Merc Opti it'll run with any comparable rig.
i've been very happy with the handling, it's quick and responsive under power with both the big motor and the kicker. using the electric it holds the line, turning smoothly without coasting over after you let off the power.
and since you'll be spending a bunch of time in one this summer, i guess that'll help...
