Mercury 1984 BlackMax 200hp VS 1995 Optimax XL 225hp

[LipChopper]

I have an opertunity to trade up from a 1984, black max 200hp to a 1995 optimax 225hp. the trade looks good on paper, newer and more ponys. I just dont have any experience with the 225's? My 2oo runs great. I would be pissed if i do the deal only later to find out later that 225s are lemons?

please reply if you have any knowledge or experience with 225s. both good and bad info is welcome.
