I see the new R27 gets a 20hp increase and is now made by Volvo. Does this add more weight and stability to boat? Does it perform better? Is it quieter while cruising? Does it burn less fuel? Ranger seems to continue to increase engine HP as time goes on...the original R25 had 110, than 150 and I believe eventually a variant got the 180. Will there potentially be another increase for this R27? Does it do well with 200HP?

Bear in mind I have very limited time on the R27 powered by the D3-200, but my impressions are very favorable. Plenty of power for me and quite smooth. My understanding is the output difference between the D3-180, D3-200 and D3-220 is a matter of electronic programming - the basic engine is all the same.
