Motor is running well. This has been a good build. Not so much a hot rod, but bringing a GX 200 clone up to a performance level comparable to most traditional marine in engines of similar displacement. I think I have some advantages: open element air filter, free flowing exhaust, probably less restrictive than most marine outboards. I can turn up to 7,000 RPM where as most marine outboards in this class have 5,000 to 6,000 RPM operation, but I only run 5,000 most of the time. The rest is in reserve just in case I need to outrun a storm or something. Easy to work on. 9 to 9.5:1 compression like most marine outboards. All I did was raise thing up to that level of power.
Most 200cc outboards have two cylinders, so they have a greater advantage that way.
