I have no experience to offer but would bet money it would make a nice package.....

I agree, while I have no direct experience either, I would bet they would be a nice match for that hull.
Well... I'm with the two members above!
No experience with the 175 Etec, but it sure sounds like a sweet package.
The only thing I would do is to compare the weight of the 175 to the 200 (along with the price difference).
If the weight is the same, and the price differential reasonable, a pair of 200's would seem to be a good power package on a DV.
Max HP on the '08 DV is 500, so you do have latatude available to you.

Good luck!

If you are looking 200's then go with the OptiMax. Proven reliability, JD powers award winner 3 years in a row, better dealer network, less expensive. etc.
With the 200 OptiMax you can get DTS and smartcraft. this will give you auto sync, troll control, and dead on accurate engine guages. With twins the DTS option is well worth it!

I had a 2180 Bay Ranger with a 225 E-Tec, before I traded it for my 2520 XLD with twin 200 yams. I absolutely loved that E-Tec. They are awesome, and they have very good fuel economy. I don't know if they are still offering it, but when I bought mine (E-tec) in '05 it came with a 7 year extended warranty. I doubt you will be able to get those motors on a new Parker, I tried and could not. You should definitely check them out.
